Powershell to modify user object

Question

Dear experts,

I'm looking for a script to do the following tasks:

1. Get the OU of this user, not the whole OU property name but only the OU name where it belongs to. e.g. CN=Eaven.test,OU=IT Test,OU=Admins,OU=Staff,OU=xxx, but I need only IT Test information
2. Get user employeeID
3. Update Description as "(employeeID) SPACE OU name"
4. Add a few groups for the user
5. Update employeeType attribute

Any idea would be much appreciated.

Hi @Eaven HUANG ,

please try this script if it fits your requirements:

$Username = "mmouse"  
$groups = "Group1","Group2"  
$DN = ((Get-ADUser -Identity $Username).DistinguishedName).Split(",",2)[1]  
$OUname = Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Identity $DN -Properties * | select name  
$employeeID = ((Get-ADUser -Identity $Username -Properties *).EmployeeID)  
Set-ADUser $Username -Description (($employeeID) + " " + $($OUname.Name))  
$groups | ForEach-Object {Add-ADPrincipalGroupMembership (Get-ADUser -Identity $Username) -MemberOf $_}
