Configure Microsoft 365 user account properties with PowerShell

  • 项目

This article applies to both Microsoft 365 Enterprise and Office 365 Enterprise.

You can use the Microsoft 365 admin center to configure properties for the user accounts of your Microsoft 365 tenant. In PowerShell, you can also do this, plus some other things you can't do in the admin center.

Use the Azure Active Directory PowerShell for Graph module

To configure properties for user accounts in the Azure Active Directory PowerShell for Graph module, use the Set-AzureADUser cmdlet and specify the properties to set or change.

First, connect to your Microsoft 365 tenant.

Change properties for a specific user account

You identify the account with the -ObjectID parameter and set or change specific properties by using additional parameters. Here's a list of the most common parameters:

  • -Department "<department name>"

  • -DisplayName "<full user name>"

  • -FacsimilieTelephoneNumber "<fax number>"

  • -GivenName "<user first name>"

  • -Surname "<user last name>"

  • -Mobile "<mobile phone number>"

  • -JobTitle "<job title>"

  • -PreferredLanguage "<language>"

  • -StreetAddress "<street address>"

  • -City "<city name>"

  • -State "<state name>"

  • -PostalCode "<postal code>"

  • -Country "<country name>"

  • -TelephoneNumber "<office phone number>"

  • -UsageLocation "<2-character country or region code>"

    This is the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 (A2) two-letter country or region code.

For additional parameters, see Set-AzureADUser.

Note

Before you can assign licenses to a user account, you must assign a usage location.

To display the User Principal Name for your user accounts, run the following command.

Get-AzureADUser | Sort UserPrincipalName | Select UserPrincipalName | More

This command instructs PowerShell to:

  1. Get all the information on the user accounts (Get-AzureADUser) and send it to the next command (|).

  2. Sort the list of User Principal Names alphabetically (Sort UserPrincipalName) and send it to the next command (|).

  3. Display just the User Principal Name property for each account (Select UserPrincipalName).

  4. Display them one screen at a time (More).

To display the User Principal Name for an account based on its display name (first and last name), run the following commands. Fill in the $userName variable, and remove the < and > characters:

$userName="<Display name>"
Write-Host (Get-AzureADUser | where {$_.DisplayName -eq $userName}).UserPrincipalName

This example displays the User Principal Name for the user account that has the display name Caleb Sills.

$userName="Caleb Sills"
Write-Host (Get-AzureADUser | where {$_.DisplayName -eq $userName}).UserPrincipalName

By using a $upn variable, you can make changes to individual accounts based on their display name. Here's an example that sets Belinda Newman's usage location to France. But it specifies her display name rather than her User Principal Name:

$userName="Belinda Newman"
$upn=(Get-AzureADUser | where {$_.DisplayName -eq $userName}).UserPrincipalName
Set-AzureADUser -ObjectID $upn -UsageLocation FR

Change properties for all user accounts

To change properties for all users, you can use a combination of the Get-AzureADUser and Set-AzureADUser cmdlets. The following example changes the usage location for all users to France:

Get-AzureADUser -All $true | Set-AzureADUser -UsageLocation FR

This command instructs PowerShell to:

  1. Get all of the information on the user accounts (Get-AzureADUser) and send it to the next command (|).

  2. Set the user location to France (Set-AzureADUser -UsageLocation FR).

Change properties for a specific set of user accounts

To change properties for a specific set of user accounts, you can use a combination of the Get-AzureADUser, Where, and Set-AzureADUser cmdlets. The following example changes the usage location for all the users in the Accounting department to France:

Get-AzureADUser | Where {$_.Department -eq "Accounting"} | Set-AzureADUser -UsageLocation FR

This command instructs PowerShell to:

  1. Get all the information on the user accounts (Get-AzureADUser), and send it to the next command (|).

  2. Find all the user accounts that have their Department property set to "Accounting" (Where {$_.Department -eq "Accounting"}), and send the resulting information to the next command (|).

  3. Set the user location to France (Set-AzureADUser -UsageLocation FR).

Use the Microsoft Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell

To configure properties for user accounts with the Microsoft Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell, use the Set-MsolUser cmdlet and specify the properties to set or change.

First, connect to your Microsoft 365 tenant.

Note

PowerShell Core doesn't support the Microsoft Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell module and cmdlets with Msol in their name. Run these cmdlets from Windows PowerShell.

Change properties for a specific user account

To configure properties for a specific user account, use the Set-MsolUser cmdlet and specify the properties to set or change.

You identify the account with the -UserPrincipalName parameter and set or change specific properties by using additional parameters. Here's a list of the most common parameters.

  • -City "<city name>"

  • -Country "<country name>"

  • -Department "<department name>"

  • -DisplayName "<full user name>"

  • -Fax "<fax number>"

  • -FirstName "<user first name>"

  • -LastName "<user last name>"

  • -MobilePhone "<mobile phone number>"

  • -Office "<office location>"

  • -PhoneNumber "<office phone number>"

  • -PostalCode "<postal code>"

  • -PreferredLanguage "<language>"

  • -State "<state name>"

  • -StreetAddress "<street address>"

  • -Title "<title name>"

  • -UsageLocation "<2-character country or region code>"

    This is the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 (A2) two-letter country or region code.

For additional parameters, see Set-MsolUser.

To see the User Principal Names of all your users, run the following command:

Get-MSolUser | Sort UserPrincipalName | Select UserPrincipalName | More

This command instructs PowerShell to:

  1. Get all of information for the user accounts (Get-MsolUser) and send it to the next command (|).

  2. Sort the list of User Principal Names alphabetically (Sort UserPrincipalName) and send it to the next command (|).

  3. Display just the User Principal Name property for each account (Select UserPrincipalName).

  4. Display them one screen at a time (More).

To display the User Principal Name for an account based on its display name (first and last name), run the following commands. Fill in the $userName variable, and remove the < and > characters.

$userName="<Display name>"
Write-Host (Get-MsolUser | where {$_.DisplayName -eq $userName}).UserPrincipalName

This example displays the User Principal Name for the user named Caleb Sills:

$userName="Caleb Sills"
Write-Host (Get-MsolUser | where {$_.DisplayName -eq $userName}).UserPrincipalName

By using a $upn variable, you can make changes to individual accounts based on their display name. Here's an example that sets Belinda Newman's usage location to France, but specifies her display name rather than her User Principal Name:

$userName="<display name>"
$upn=(Get-MsolUser | where {$_.DisplayName -eq $userName}).UserPrincipalName
Set-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $upn -UsageLocation FR

Change properties for all user accounts

To change properties for all users, use a combination of the Get-MsolUser and Set-MsolUser cmdlets. The following example changes the usage location for all users to France:

Get-MsolUser | Set-MsolUser -UsageLocation FR

This command instructs PowerShell to:

  1. Get all the information for the user accounts (Get-MsolUser) and send it to the next command (|).

  2. Set the user location to France (Set-MsolUser -UsageLocation FR).

Change properties for a specific set of user accounts

To change properties for a specific set of user accounts, you can use a combination of the Get-MsolUser, Where, and Set-MsolUser cmdlets. The following example changes the usage location for all the users in the Accounting department to France:

Get-MsolUser | Where {$_.Department -eq "Accounting"} | Set-MsolUser -UsageLocation FR

This command instructs PowerShell to:

  1. Get all the information for the user accounts (Get-MsolUser) and send it to the next command (|).

  2. Find all user accounts that have their Department property set to "Accounting" (Where {$_.Department -eq "Accounting"}) and send the resulting information to the next command (|).

  3. Set the user location to France (Set-MsolUser -UsageLocation FR).
