New-ADObject
Creates an Active Directory object.
Syntax:
New-ADObject [-Name] <string> [-Type] <string> [-AuthType {<Negotiate> | <Basic>}] [-Credential <PSCredential>] [-Description <string>] [-DisplayName <string>] [-Instance <ADObject>] [- OtherAttributes <hashtable>] [-PassThru <switch>] [-Path <string>] [-ProtectedFromAccidentalDeletion <System.Nullable[bool]>] [-Server <string>] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
The New-ADObject cmdlet creates a new Active Directory object such as a new organizational unit or new user account. You can use this cmdlet to create any type of Active Directory object. Many object properties are defined by setting cmdlet parameters. Properties that are not set by cmdlet parameters can be set by using the OtherAttributes parameter.
You must set the Name and Type parameters to create a new Active Directory object. The Name specifies the name of the new object. The Type parameter specifies the LDAP display name of the Active Directory Schema Class that represents the type of object you want to create. Examples of Type values include computer, group, organizational unit, and user.
The Path parameter specifies the container where the object will be created.. When you do not specify the Path parameter, the cmdlet creates an object in the default naming context container for Active Directory objects in the domain.
