  Here are links to two examples in the Script Gallery to update AD users in bulk. You can find more by searching. First a script using the information in an Excel spreadsheet:

  https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Update-AD-Users-in-Bulk-ca0068f1

  And a more recent script to update users from a CSV (comma delimited) file:

  https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Update-Active-Directory-cd5c5513

  Any script to update AD objects in bulk needs to be carefully designed to handle as many possible problems as possible. If the script does something unintended, it can be very difficult or impossible to correct. It is also best for the script to log everything it does. Each of these scripts has limitations documented in the writeup or comments. But the properties you mention should be straightforward. The LDAPDisplayNames of the corresponding AD attributes are givenName (for the first name), sn (for the last name), and title (for job title).
