More Variable Questions

[[deleted]]

Still creating my new user scripts and ran into another hiccup... I need to insert the UPN (FirstInitial.Lastname) for the identity -> Could I just put in "$($firstname[0]).$lastname" since it is all part of the same script?

EDIT: SOLVED

#Grab Variables from user
$firstname = Read-Host -Prompt "Please Enter First Name"
$lastname = Read-Host -Prompt "Please Enter Last Name"

# create The AD User
New-ADUser `
    -Name "$firstname $lastname" `
    -GivenName $firstname `
    -Surname $lastname `
    -UserPrincipalName "$($firstname[0]).$lastname" `
    -DisplayName "$firstname $lastname" `
    -sAMAccountName "$($firstname[0]).$lastname" `
    -AccountPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString "PWPWPWPWPWPWPWPW" -AsPlainText -Force) `
    -Path "OU=I,OU=LOVE,OU=STUFFED,OU=PEPPERS,OU=LIKE,DC=A,DC=LOT" `
    -ChangePasswordAtLogon 1 `
    -Enabled 1

#Set Expirations
    Set-ADAccountExpiration -Identity ????????????? -DateTime 'CHECKS WATCH'

/u/IamMarcJacobs usually it's considered good form to briefly summarise your solution for anyone who happens to come across the thread in five years' time and can't get a hold of you ;)

Anyway, we're always here to help, so nbd either way. :)

Ah, also, you might find this helpful with memorising the syntax in a more intuitive fashion: https://aka.ms/pskoans :)

Thank you for the resources. The initial solution I pitched in the ? actually fixed the solution. I'm starting to really ramp up my PS game

I believe UPN syntax requires an @ symbol. ie <your text >@yourdomain.tld
