Detailed Description

The Set-ADUser cmdlet modifies the properties of an Active Directory user. You can modify commonly used property values by using the cmdlet parameters. Property values that are not associated with cmdlet parameters can be modified by using the Add, Replace, Clear and Remove parameters.

The Identity parameter specifies the Active Directory user to modify. You can identify a user by its distinguished name (DN), GUID, security identifier (SID) or Security Accounts Manager (SAM) account name. You can also set the Identity parameter to an object variable such as $<localUserObject>, or you can pass an object through the pipeline to the Identity parameter. For example, you can use the Get-ADUser cmdlet to retrieve a user object and then pass the object through the pipeline to the Set-ADUser cmdlet.

The Instance parameter provides a way to update a user object by applying the changes made to a copy of the object. When you set the Instance parameter to a copy of an Active Directory user object that has been modified, the Set-ADUser cmdlet makes the same changes to the original user object. To get a copy of the object to modify, use the Get-ADUser object. The Identity parameter is not allowed when you use the Instance parameter. For more information about the Instance parameter, see the Instance parameter description. For more information about how the Instance concept is used in Active Directory cmdlets, see about_ActiveDirectory_Instance.

The following examples show how to modify the Manager property of a user object by using three methods:
-By specifying the Identity and the Manager parameters
-By passing a user object through the pipeline and specifying the Manager parameter
-By specifying the Instance parameter.

Method 1: Modify the Manager property for the "saraDavis" user by using the Identity and Manager parameters.

Set-ADUser -Identity "saraDavis" -Manager "JimCorbin"

Method 2: Modify the Manager property for the "saraDavis" user by passing the "saraDavis" user through the pipeline and specifying the Manager parameter.

Get-ADUser -Identity "saraDavis" | Set-ADUser -Manager "JimCorbin"

Method 3: Modify the Manager property for the "saraDavis" user by using the Windows PowerShell command line to modify a local instance of the "saraDavis" user. Then set the Instance parameter to the local instance.

$user = Get-ADUser -Identity "saraDavis"
$user.Manager = "JimCorbin"
Set-ADUser -Instance $user.

For AD LDS environments, the Partition parameter must be specified except in the following two conditions:
-The cmdlet is run from an Active Directory provider drive.
-A default naming context or partition is defined for the AD LDS environment. To specify a default naming context for an AD LDS environment, set the msDS-defaultNamingContext property of the Active Directory directory service agent (DSA) object (nTDSDSA) for the AD LDS instance.

Parameters

AccountExpirationDate

Specifies the expiration date for an account. When you set this parameter to 0, the account never expires. This parameter sets the AccountExpirationDate property of an account object. The LDAP Display name (ldapDisplayName) for this property is accountExpires.

Use the DateTime syntax when you specify this parameter. Time is assumed to be local time unless otherwise specified. When a time value is not specified, the time is assumed to 12:00:00 AM local time. When a date is not specified, the date is assumed to be the current date. The following examples show commonly-used syntax to specify a DateTime object.
"4/17/2006"
"Monday, April 17, 2006"
"2:22:45 PM"
"Monday, April 17, 2006 2:22:45 PM"

These examples specify the same date and the time without the seconds.
"4/17/2006 2:22 PM"
"Monday, April 17, 2006 2:22 PM"
"2:22 PM"

The following example shows how to specify a date and time by using the RFC1123 standard. This example defines time by using Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
"Mon, 17 Apr 2006 21:22:48 GMT"

The following example shows how to specify a round-trip value as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This example represents Monday, April 17, 2006 at 2:22:48 PM UTC.
"2006-04-17T14:22:48.0000000"

The following example shows how to set this parameter to the date May 1, 2012 at 5 PM.
-AccountExpirationDate "05/01/2012 5:00:00 PM"

Add

Specifies values to add to an object property. Use this parameter to add one or more values to a property that cannot be modified using a cmdlet parameter. To modify an object property, you must use the LDAP display name. You can specify multiple values to a property by specifying a comma-separated list of values and more than one property by separating them using a semicolon.. The format for this parameter is
-Add @{Attribute1LDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...; Attribute2LDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...; AttributeNLDAPDisplayName=value1, value2, ...}

For example, if you want to remove the value "555-222-2222" and add the values "555-222-1111" and "555-222-3333" to Phone-Office-Other attribute (LDAP display name 'otherTelephone'), and add the value "555-222-9999" to Phone-Mobile-Other (LDAP display name 'otherMobile'), set the Add and Remove parameters as follows.

-Add @{otherTelephone='555-222-1111', '555-222-3333'; otherMobile='555-222-9999' } -Remove @{otherTelephone='555-222-2222'}

Instance

Specifies an ADUser object that identifies the Active Directory user object that should be modified and the set of changes that should be made to that object. When this parameter is used, any modifications made to the ADUser object are also made to the corresponding Active Directory object. The cmdlet only updates the object properties that have changed.
The ADUser object specified as the value of the -Instance parameter must have been retrieved by using the Get-ADUser cmdlet. When you specify the Instance parameter, you cannot specify other parameters that set individual properties on the object.

The following is an example of how to use the Get-ADUser cmdlet to retrieve an instance of the ADUser object. The object is modified by using the Windows PowerShell command line. Then the Set-ADUser cmdlet saves the changes to the Active Directory object.

Step 1: Retrieve a local instance of the object.
$userInstance = Get-ADUser -Identity saraDavis
Step 2: Modify one or more properties of the object instance.
$userInstance.EmailAddress = "saradavis@contoso.com"
Step3: Save your changes to saraDavis.

Partition

Specifies the distinguished name of an Active Directory partition. The distinguished name must be one of the naming contexts on the current directory server. The cmdlet searches this partition to find the object defined by the Identity parameter.
The following two examples show how to specify a value for this parameter.
-Partition "CN=Configuration,DC=EUROPE,DC=TEST,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM"

-Partition "CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=EUROPE,DC=TEST,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM"

In many cases, a default value will be used for the Partition parameter if no value is specified. The rules for determining the default value are given below. Note that rules listed first are evaluated first and once a default value can be determined, no further rules will be evaluated.

In AD DS environments, a default value for Partition will be set in the following cases: - If the Identity parameter is set to a distinguished name, the default value of Partition is automatically generated from this distinguished name.
- If running cmdlets from an Active Directory provider drive, the default value of Partition is automatically generated from the current path in the drive.
- If none of the previous cases apply, the default value of Partition will be set to the default partition or naming context of the target domain.

In AD LDS environments, a default value for Partition will be set in the following cases:
- If the Identity parameter is set to a distinguished name, the default value of Partition is automatically generated from this distinguished name.
- If running cmdlets from an Active Directory provider drive, the default value of Partition is automatically generated from the current path in the drive.
- If the target AD LDS instance has a default naming context, the default value of Partition will be set to the default naming context. To specify a default naming context for an AD LDS environment, set the msDS-defaultNamingContext property of the Active Directory directory service agent (DSA) object (nTDSDSA) for the AD LDS instance.
- If none of the previous cases apply, the Partition parameter will not take any default value.
