powershell array will not run

I am trying to run this over each OU but for some reason this is failing and I have attached the error below. Please help as I am not an expert in powershell.

@(
contoso.local\toys
contoso.local\radios
contoso.local\beer
contoso.local\computers
contoso.local\users
) | % {

get-mailbox -organizationalunit $_ | select displayname, alias, identity

}

Error I receive below.

The module 'contoso.local' could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module
'contoso.local' .
At C:\temp\nameofscript.ps1:5 char:1
+ 'contoso.local\toys'

Did you load the AD module?

Use quotes to define strings, Also you need to use forward slash between OU names.. Try..

@(
"contoso.local/toys"
"contoso.local/radios"
"contoso.local/beer"
"contoso.local/computers"
"contoso.local/users"
 ) | % {

 get-mailbox -organizationalunit $_  | select displayname, alias, identity

 }

Open in new window

Hope you are running the code from EMS.
