#

#format of CSV:

#dave.colv.in,SecretPassword!1

#Write-Output "Startup "

Import-Csv ".\ChurnReset.csv" | Foreach {

$email = $_.email

$dynamicPW = $_.password     #use this the passwords in the CSV

$setPW = "davecolvin00111!!" #use this for a preset password

#Write-Output "checking user -> $email password -> $dynamicPW"

try {

#Get-ADUser $user

$user = Get-ADUser -Filter {mail -like $email } -SearchBase "DC=dec,DC=int" -searchscope subtree -Properties samAccountName

Set-ADAccountPassword $user -NewPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString $setPW -AsPlainText -force) -Reset

Enable-ADAccount $user

Write-Output "$user, Password reset and enabled"

    } catch

    { Write-Output "$user,Error" }
