I'm trying a simple PS script that keeps throwing an error using -OUPath<br />
<br />
It's saying 'cannot find the file specified'<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-29020211-1">Add-Computer -DomainName &quot;mydomain.lan&quot; -OUPath &quot;OU=2021,DC=mydomain,DC=lan&quot;</code></pre>
<br />
If I remove the OUPath segment, it work great, just puts the computer in the default 'computer' OU<br />
<br />
I can't find the answer to this.<br />
<br />
Thanks
