Thanks Michael,
That's a big help. One of my issues is that I tend to forget what happens when
you pass values to a "cmdlet". In VBSCRIPT everything you put on a command line
is usually expanded to strings, which is of course why we need PowerShell. So
I was doing:-
Set-user -id $user -othertelephone "@($number1,$number2)"
Which passes a string containing "@($number1,$number2)" whereas what I needed
was
Set-user -id $user -othertelephone @("$number1","$number2")
Which passes an array object and which you couldn't do in VBScript.....

You can see the basics of how this works, with a good explanation of what is
going on, in this TechNet article:

Michael,
Well I have an existing phone book database from which I get up to three
numbers internal, external and "group". I am going to put the "internal" into
the " phone" field, and the external and group numbers into the
"OtherTelephone" field.
The users are used to updating the existing phone book, and I don't have the
clout to make them go "cold turkey", so for a while I will need to be able to
update AD from the database at regular intervals.
If all three were present the tests would be pretty simple but they are not!
So for example if a user deletes the "group" number from the external
directory, I need to know to delete it from AD.
Sorry if this isn't very clear...

Almost certainly I do.
But can you be a bit more specific as to what you want or are trying to do?

Folks,
I am trying to update the various "other" phone numbers in the GAL via Exchange
Powershell and getting into a horrid mess comparing Multi-Values fields. Does
any one have any sample code?
Dave
