Set UPN of AD users from result of Get-AdUser

I have some users in AD that have the UPN address set like [email protected]. I want to change those users so their UPN looks like that [email protected].

I have written a PS line to find me such users:

Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(!userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)(userPrincipalName=*@this.org))" -SearchBase "OU=this,DC=that"  | Select SamAccountName

But how do I update those users. I know about Set-AdUser command, but I can't figure out how to feed the result of the Get-Aduser into it.

Just pipe it to Set-ADUser:

Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(!userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)(userPrincipalName=*@this.org))" -SearchBase "OU=this,DC=that" | % {Set-ADUser $_ -UserPrincipalName "that"}

Just a heads up, use -Whatif during testing before you crash you whole AD.

Explanation:

% - Alias for foreach

$_ - Equals each object of the foreach (each User found in the Get-ADuser)

-UserPrincipalName "that" - Set the UPN of the given User to that
