Renaming AD accounts

Question

Hello,
I’m looking for a powershell script that let me rename the SamaccountName and UPN of a list of users from csv file.
Exemple:
SamaccountName: USA.A1234 to A1234
And UPN to A1234@keyman instead of USA.A1234@keyman

Thank you

Answer 1

import-csv users.csv | %{set-aduser $_.SamAccountName -SamAccountName $_.NewSamAccountName -UserPrincipalName  $_.NewUPN}

Test with a small number of items first, then you can run in bulk against the bigger list

Answer 2

Hi,

What is your csv file like? You can use Set-ADUser to set the attributes of an AD user.

Get-ADUser -Filter {SamAccountName -eq "USA.A1234"} | Set-ADUser -SamAccountName "A1234" -UserPrincipalName "A1234@domain"  

For more details you can refer to this link

Best Regards，
Ian
