Hi Daniel,

I just did a test and it worked fine for me:

Could it be that you have some Typo in the name of the OU:

"OU=Staedte,DC=dmamgt,DC=local"

Are you sure it is the correct OU CN?
You can use ADSIEDIT or event the Users and Computers mmc to checkl the correct OU name.

your right seams like in my script the ou isnt created properly.

there the ou should be created:

New-ADGroup -Name $Folder -GroupScope Global -DisplayName $Folder -Path "OU=Staedte,DC=dmamgt,DC=local" -Description ("Members of this group live on " + $Folder)

Do u see any mistakes?

Hi Daniel,

the command you have posted is creating a new group in the OU with the name "Staedte", but it does not create the OU itself. This means that the OU needs to exist in the firts place. Is this the case? If not, then you can of course create the OU yourself, using:

  New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name "Staedte" -Path "DC=dmamgmt,DC=local" -ProtectedFromAccidentalDeletion $True

If the OU has already been created, then you can ensure that the Distinguished Name is correct by checking the OU attributes. Here an example with the OU referenced:

Please let me know in case I can help you further.

Thank you for your quick help. You are right it. I thought the ou would be created automaticly because it worked that way in an ohter script.
