error to change user ad from OU to powershell

April 1, 2022

I’m creating a script to change certain OU users, but it gives a parameter error and it’s not working.

Users and OUs are being listed through an .csv file, the strings get the information, but when putting it in the code line it doesn’t work.

Import-Csv -Path  C:\Users\leonan.martins\Desktop\teste1.csv -Delimiter ',' -PipelineVariable User | ForEach-Object -Process {
   
        $us = $User.user
    $OU1 = $User.Regiao
        $OU2 = $User.Diretoria
        $OU3 = $User.Area
    get-aduser $User | move-adobject -TargetPath "OU=$OU1,OU=$OU2,OU=$OU3,DC=lab,DC=suporti,DC=local"
}

>Solution :

The likable cause of your error is a typo on $us = $User.user and the referencing $User in the Get-ADUser call instead of $us. As for -PipelineVariable User, you could replace it for $_ (also known as $PSItem) to refer to the current object being passed through the pipeline:

Import-Csv -Path C:\Users\leonan.martins\Desktop\teste1.csv | ForEach-Object {
    $target = [string]::Format(
        "OU={0},OU={1},OU={2},DC=lab,DC=suporti,DC=local",
        $_.Regiao, $_.Diretoria, $_.Area
    )
    Get-ADUser $_.User | Move-ADObject -TargetPath $target
}
