------------ README File ------------ INTRODUCTION ------------- The Add-empID script will import the AD module and adds data to the employee ID attribute in the user object of Active Directory from an imported CSV file. The script is designed for the Microsoft Windows operating system, leveraging PowerShell 4.0 and above. ----------- DISCLAIMER ----------- This script is offered 'as is' with no warranty. While it has been tested and verified to work in my environment, it is recommended that you test this script in a test environment before utilizing in your own production environment. ------------- REQUIREMENTS ------------- This script requires access to: * Administrative access to Active Directory * Administrative access on the machine where the script will be run from ------------- INSTALLATION ------------- To get started download the files listed in the resource section and save the Add-empID.txt as a .ps1 file. It should be extracted to the desktop of the Windows machine where the script will run from. The CSV template file should be placed in the same directory. The Active Directory module should be installed on the machine for the script to run properly. Once extracted, the Add-empID.ps1 file can be right-clicked and "Run with PowerShell" can be selected. It is recommended that this is an account that has administrator privileges. Alternatively, PowerShell can be manually opened on the system and the terminal navigated to the appropriate directory where the script is located and executed from there. With either option, it is recommended the action to run the script is done with an account that has administrator privileges.
