Hi, I’m want make bulk changes using below script to change primary domain (the new domain) and make alias for old domain. My csv has usernname, proxyaddress, proxyaddress2:

```
$users = import-csv "c:\import.csv"

ForEach ( $user in $users)
{
#define domain here
$domain="@jhuccp.ng"

#adding proxies
$SMTP1="SMTP:"
$SMTP2="smtp:"

#adding all
$SMTP1=$SMTP1 + $users.proxyaddress + $domain
$SMTP2=$SMTP2 + $users.proxyaddress2 + $domain
$email=$user.proxyaddress + $domain
$upn=$email

set-azureAduser $users.Username -add @{ProxyAddresses=$SMTP1}
set-azureAduser $users.Username -add @{ProxyAddresses=$SMTP2}

set-azureAduser $users.Username -emailaddress $email
set-azureAduser $users.Username -userprincipalname $upn
}
```

there is error at below:

```
Set-AzureADUser : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'System.Object[]'.
At line:18 char:1
+ set-azureAduser $users.Username -add @{ProxyAddresses=$SMTP1}
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-AzureADUser], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Microsoft.Open.AzureAD16.PowerShell.SetUser
```

Please assist. thanks

Hello kounzo95,  
Welcome to [PowerShell.org](http://PowerShell.org) forum.  
Please read [Read Me Before Posting! You’ll be Glad You Did!](https://powershell.org/forums/topic/read-me-before-posting-youll-be-glad-you-did/)and make sure to format your code property going forward.

From the script it looks like you are operating with the collection of usernames (`$users.proxyaddres` ) not specific username that you have inside your foreach loop (`$user`).

Try changing `$users.proxyaddress` to `$user`.

Also I would move the domain definition outside of Foreach loop. Right now you are initializing `$domain` variable for each user.

Hope that helps.
