PowerShell – Write to Computer Object Description

This is how you write to the description field for a computer object in Active Directory.

Remember, set the Execution Policy: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Import-module ActiveDirectory
$strComputer = 'PC_Name1'
$strDescription = "The Description Here"
Set-ADComputer $strComputer -Description $strDescription

 

If you want to import data from a CSV

Import-module ActiveDirectory  
Import-CSV "C:\PowerShell\Data.csv" | % { 
$strComputer = $_.Computer 
$strDescription = $_.Description 
Set-ADComputer $strComputer -Description $strDescription
}

 

What the data.csv looks like

Computer,Description
PC_Name1,testing1
PC_Name2,testing2
PC_Name3,testing3
