Hello,
I get the following error trying to import users with New-QADUser

Import-Csv c:\admin\users4.csv | New-QADUser -ParentContainer my.org/testou -Import

New-QADUser : Pipeline input cannot be processed because the default value of parameter 'Name' cannot be retrieved. Can not set property value because "Name" is a write-only property.
At line:1 char:45

I created a CSV just like on Dmitry's site but still no luck

Thanks

Thanks, that helps but I hit a wall a little further. I've found if my spreadsheet does not contain an entry for -Title I receive the following error:

The attribute syntax specified to the directory service is invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007200B)

How can I work around this problem because not all users will have all attributes?

import-csv C:\admin\users5.csv | foreach-object {new-qadUser -ParentContainer 'OU=testou,DC=mydomain,DC=org' -name $_.'name' -SamAccountName $_.'samaccountname' -FirstName $_.'firstname' -LastName $_.'lastname'-StreetAddress $_.'streetaddress' -Title $_.'title'}

Many thanks

Hi Shay,

I plan to use get-qaduser to export the properties of a group of users from one domain and then import the users in another. Some will have title (or address, pager, etc.) listed and some won't.

The problem is definitely with null values because if I add a placeholder like TBD to the title field on the spreadsheet the import works, but I don't want a bunch of placeholder information in the directory.

Thanks for any ideas for resolving this issue.
