Create User in AD with extensionAttributes set

[Edwin Fuller]

I've copied the "ActionCreateUser_AD_v2.ps1" to include other fields as per my organizations requirements; See attached file. It works fine until I try to include extensionAttributes4 where it fails with the message of

"A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'extensionAttribute4'"

Part of script that is attempting to set extensionAttribute4

If($BusinessUnit){
$params['extensionAttribute4'] = $BusinessUnit
}

Please help me with the correct way to set extensionAttributes when creating new users in AD

Hi @Edwin Fuller 

You need to tweak your script a bit. You can either make use of -otherattributes in your cmdlet or you can set the attributes using Set-AdUser cmdlet with -add switch. Refer below links :
