    Hi,

    I am trying to write a script which i can add to the start menu for a self service telephone number update.

    Heres what i have so far, doesn't seem to want to work at the moment, it prompts for the details but thats about it:

     

    Import-Module ActiveDirectory 
    $User = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter your username"
    $Phone = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter your phone number"

    Set-ADUser $User.SamAccountName -homePhone $Phone.homePhone

    That command will not be available on workstations.

    Download and install the web based user update tools.  It is the easies way to go.
