I have a CSV file (c:\temp\adinfo.csv) with fields:
samaccountname, EmployeeID, Title, Manager, Department

Answer 1

Hi @Naveen Kumar ,

you didn't mention which attribute you are using for the Manager.
Assuming it's the SamAccountName as well this might help (not tested by myself).

Import-Csv "c:\temp\adinfo.csv" |  
ForEach-Object {  
  $userObj = Get-ADUser -Filter "SamAccountName -eq '$($_.SamAccountName)'"  
  $managerObj = Get-ADUser -Filter "SamAccountName -eq '$($_.Manager)'"    
  if ($userObj -and $managerObj) {  
    $userObj | Set-ADUser -Manager $managerObj -Title $_.Title -EmployeeID $_.EmployeeID -Department $_.Department  
  }  
}

This does a bit of data validation before updating the user. The assumption is that you're intention is to not replace existing values with and empty value if the CSV omits a value.

A second assumption is that the "manager" value in the CSV is either the manager's samaccountname or distinguished name (a GUID or SID is also acceptable, but it's unlikely you're using one of these).

Import-Csv -Path c:\temp\adinfo.csv | 
    ForEach-Object {
        $samacct = $_.samaccountname        # needed for exception handling
        if ($_.samaccountname.Trim().Length -gt 3) {
            Try{
                $u = Get-ADUser -Identity ($_.samaccountname.trim()) -ErrorAction STOP
                $props = @{ Identity = $_.samaccountname.trim() }
                if ($row.Title.trim().Length -gt 1){
                    $props['Title'] = $_.Title.trim()
                }
                if ($row.Manager.trim().Length -gt 1){
                    $props['Manager'] = $_.Manager.trim()
                }
                if ($row.Drpartment.trim().Length -gt 1){
                    $props['Department'] = $_.Department.trim()
                }
                if ($row.Drpartment.trim().Length -gt 1){
                    $props['EmployeeID'] = $_.EmployeeID.trim()
                }
                Try{
                    Set-ADUser @props -ErrorAction STOP
                }
                Catch{
                    Write-Host "Failed to update user with samaccountname '$samacct'." -ForegroundColor Yellow    
                }
            }
            Catch{
                Write-Host "User with samaccountname '$samacct' was not found." -ForegroundColor Yellow
            }
        }
        else {
            Write-Host "User's samaccountname is either empty or too short: '$samacct'"
        }
    }
