Check this line:

$txtSid = ([System.BitConverter]::ToString($sid[0])).Replace(‘-’," ”)

Are you missing " in your code?

What are you hoping to accomplish with this script ?

It seems to me there might be much easier ways to get what you need.
I think the property is $ts.Millisecond, not $ts.Milliseconds

I am trying to find the ldap lookup time across trusting domains for SCOM 2012 server and agents assigned to domain controllers. If there is an easier way fine, please help. If you stick with the scripts is there also away to have the server defined in "$domain = ‘LDAP://" and the response time defined in a spreadsheet, (csv) or html report, showing server and response time? These domains are international domains aspread across the world.
@Dan. $ts.Milliseconds  is right. please check the property again
@hlaten:   Is your script worked when you follow my comment . ie you missed " in one of the line i shown in my first comment.
Yup.
It's date.Millisecond, timespan.Milliseconds.
Confusing, isn't it ? :)
This is what I get when I run the script:

PS H:\scripting\powershell> ./fqdmtestscom.ps1
Exception calling "FindAll" with "0" argument(s): "There is no such object on the server.

PS H:\scripting\powershell>
Can you say what you're trying to do we can maybe find an easier way.
update:

$objSearcher.SearchRoot="LDAP://dc=MyDomain, dc=com"
Still get this:

PS H:\scripting\powershell> ./fqdmtestscom.ps1
