Example 27-56 1

PS C:\>Set-DRAUser -Domain MyDomain.corp -Identifier "USER123" -Properties @{Manager=CN=George,CN=Users, DC=MYDOMAIN,DC=corp";Description="updated description";TrustedForDelegation=$true;location="Houston"}

This example updates some properties on the user USER123 in MyDomain.corp. The Identifier specifies the name of the user. When the identifier format is the name, the REST endpoint will contact the DRA Server to resolve the name to the full distinguished name.

Example 27-57 2

PS C:\>Set-DRAUser -Domain MyDomain.corp -Identifier "CN=Alfred O365,OU=Tax,DC=MYDOM,DC=CORP" -Properties @{office365SendAsRemove="CN=AAA-Alfred Don1,OU=Tax,DC=MYDOM,DC=CORP","CN=AA TestCase6,OU=Tax,DC=MYDOM,    DC=CORP";office365SendOnBehalfAdd="CN=Eric Jones,OU=Tax,DC=MYDOM,DC=CORP`","CN=Ron
Jackson,OU=Tax,DC=MYDOM,DC=CORP";office365DeliverAndForward=$true;office365ForwardingAddress="CN=Aaron Jackson,OU=Tax,DC=MYDOM,DC=CORP"} 

This example updates some of the Office 365 properties of the user Alfred O365 in MyDom.corp. The request will remove two users from the Send As list and add two different users to the Send On Behalf list. Note that these multi-valued properties must be enclosed in escaped quotation marks and separated by a comma between each value.

Example 27-58 3

PS C:\>Set-DRAUser  -Domain MyDomain.corp -Identifier "CN=USER123,OU=Accounting,DC=MyDomain,DC=corp" -Properties @{Manager="CN=George,CN=Users,DC=MYDOMAIN,DC=corp";TrustedForDelegation=$true;location="Houston"}

This example updates some of the properties of the user USER123 in MyDomain.corp. The identifier contains the distinguished name for the user. Three properties are updated: Manager, Location, and TrustedForDelegation. To see the complete list of available properties, perform a Get-Member command on the object returned from any DRAUser command.
