AutoPopulate fields with userdetails based on UniqueID field

PowerShell Help

Hi,

I have a requirement in the SharePoint 2010 List containing the fields - Unique ID (People picker), FirstName(SingleLineofText), LastName(SingleLineofText) and so on.

Whenever the user fill in the "UniqueID" column, the fields (Firstname and Lastname) should be automatically populated based on the UniqueID.

I need the powershell script for the same

Thanks,
Chakradhar

Something like this?
function New-User {
[CmdletBinding()]
param(
[Parameter(Position=0, Mandatory=$true)]
[ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]
[System.String]
$Name
)
# First clean up the input (remove leading/trailing whitespace, plus replace any paired spaces with a single space)
$Name = $Name -replace '^\s+|\s+$' -replace '\s+',' '
# Now get the name parts
$NameParts = $Name -split '\s',2
# Finally return an object with the name, firstname, and lastname properties
New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{
Name = $Name
FirstName = $NameParts[0]
LastName = $NameParts[1]
}
}
Here’s some output from that command:
PS C:> New-User ‘Kirk Munro’

Name LastName FirstName
---- -------- ---------
Kirk Munro Munro Kirk


PS C:> New-User ‘Miguel de Icaza’

Name LastName FirstName
---- -------- ---------
Miguel de Icaza de Icaza Miguel


PS C:> New-User ‘Joe’

Name LastName FirstName
---- -------- ---------
Joe Joe


PS C:> New-User ’ Too ManySpaces '

Name LastName FirstName
---- -------- ---------
Too ManySpaces ManySpaces Too

Ah, I thought you were using SharePoint as an example, looking for a script to do that work. I get what you’re looking for now. I’m not a SharePoint guy, so to help you get the right assistance for this I’m going to copy the thread into the PowerShell and SharePoint forum. Someone over there should be able to help you.
