    In case anyone else comes across this in a random search, make sure you've imported the module first. import-module activedirectory

    Nice, but not working on my Win7 or Server 2008R2 systems. In my domain we have to pre-create computer accounts in specific OUs before joining computers to the domain, so being able to script this is pretty essential, and I can't come up with any good/reliable way to do it. Is this something you installed from elsewhere?
