title: Getting error parsing error when trying to run PowerShell script for Active Directory
body: <p>I am writing a script that will update user attributes in Active Directory from a CSV file. I am down to only one error now and it is to do with the syntax. Not sure what the correct syntax is; I have provided the error that I receive when I run the script. </p>
  
  <p>Here is the script to update AD users from CSV file.</p>
  
  <pre><code>#Updates AD user attributes from CSV file
  
  $credential = Get-Credential
  
  #Load data from file.csv
  $ADUsers = Import-csv file_location
  
  # Server
  $server = "127.0.0.1"
  
  # Count variable for number of users update
  $count = 0
  
  #Go through each row that has user data in the CSV we just imported 
  foreach ($User in $ADUsers)
  {
      # Read user data from each field in each row and assign to variables.
  
      $Username = $User.Username
      $Title = $User.Title
      $Office = $User.Office
      $Description = $User.Description
  
  
      #Check to see if the user already exists in AD. If they do, we update.
      if (Get-ADUser -Filter "SamAccountName -eq $Username" -Server $server -Credential $credential)
      {
  
           #Set User attributes
           Set-ADUser -Title $Title -WhatIf `
              -Office $Office -WhatIf `
              -Description $Description -WhatIf
  
           # Print that the user was updated 
           Write-Host $Username "- User attributes have been updated." -ForegroundColor Yellow
  
           # Update Count
           $count += 1    
       }
  
  
  }
  
  # Print the number of updated users
  Write-Host $count "Users have been updated" -ForegroundColor Green
