Bulk Computers attribute update using powershell script

In this tutorial, we will show you how to update Active Directory computer descriptions using PowerShell from a CSV file. First, we import the Active Directory module and create a variable that contains the path to the CSV file. Then, we use the Import-Csv cmdlet to import the CSV file into a PowerShell object. We loop through each computer in the object and update the Description attribute using the Set-ADComputer cmdlet. Finally, we save the PowerShell script and run it using an account with the necessary permissions.

This script is useful for system administrators who need to update multiple computer descriptions in Active Directory quickly and efficiently. By using a CSV file, administrators can easily manage and update computer attributes in bulk. This script can be customized to update other computer attributes as well, such as the Location or ManagedBy attribute.

Below is the script which I have used to updating the description for multiple computers
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$csvData = Import-Csv $csvFilePath
foreach ($row in $csvData) {
$computerName = $row.ComputerName
$description = $row.Description
Set-ADComputer -Identity $computerName -Description $description
}
