Copying properties from one user to another

[ptellini]

This is an example of what I am trying to do:
$Title = Get-ADUser -identity ptellini -Properties Title | Select-Object Title
Set-ADUser -identity nmherr -Title $Title
Unfortunately, the job title is populated with this: @{Title=CEO}
I have been Googling with no solution. This happens with City as well.
I’d greatly appreciate it if you can assist.

[random-commandline]

$Title = (Get-ADUser -identity ptellini -Properties Title).Title
Set-ADUser -identity nmherr -Title $Title

Some explanation along with code examples are much more helpful.

Thank you!
That worked!

@random-commandline

$Title = (Get-ADUser -identity ptellini -Properties Title).Title
Set-ADUser -identity nmherr -Title $Title

Random’s solution worked. I built a PoweShell GUI to create AD user accounts and getting certain properties to populate, such as title and city, were an obstacle. I am still learning and learn more as I do.
