Azure Active Directory - Bulk updating user profile attributes using PowerShell

At SMEx we are all for using cloud based SaaS products. We use Office 365 and Azure AD to manage our users, and we use Exclaimer Cloud - Signatures for Office 365 to manage our email signatures.

The way Exclaimer works is that it reads profile info from Azure AD and generates a signature during message transport and applies it to the message. It's actually quite a neat solution.

At SMEx, we have three offices and we include the address of the office in the signature. So instead of creating three different signatures in Exclaimer, we wanted one signature that can pull the address from the user's profile attributes.

Tip - Run batch files from solution explorer with PowerShell

Quick tip for those of you who use a batch file to regenerate your data access layer.

You might have noticed that if you try to run (double click) a batch file from the solution explorer window it just opens the batch file in a text editor.

To make it actually run you:

  1. Right click the batch file
  2. Select “Open With…”
  3. Click “Add…”
  4. In “Program name” put the path of PowerShell (“C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe”)
  5. In “Friendly name” type in “PowerShell”
  6. Click OK
