Move Users from one OU to another using a CSV file

Create a csv with a name field containing a list of the users SamAccountName's. Then just change the target OU path to move the users.

# Specify target OU. 
$TargetOU = "OU=HR,OU=Users,DC=ad,DC=test,DC=local"

# Read user SAMAccountNames from csv file (field labeled "Name"). 
Import-Csv -Path $csvFile | ForEach-Object {
