Do you create OU in Active Directory or create OU directly in powershell? I used your code but it says the path was not found. I think I need to create OU first, right?

[veeranmatmari]

please come up with more PowerShell commands and tasks for active directory, please (like working with groups, permissions etc)

Btw. Powershell v3 and up u don’t have to import-modules. They load automatically.
