Adding a object(User) to a OU from a powershell

Question

I have checked the command and the format for the script not sure what's wrong.

I have added the screenshot for proof and the error message.

I switched the OU path to see if it would make any difference.. but yet it didn't.

I tried the same command and it worked for me as expected in my lab. I used below command,

You can also try to create the user first using powershell and then move the user to specific OU using below command,

Move-ADObject -Identity "CN=expiry,CN=Users,DC=magic,DC=local" -TargetPath "OU=test,OU=Sync,DC=magic,DC=local"

Even this command worked for me in my lab.

Do let me know if you have any further questions.

Don't try to do everything on one line. Place the Read-Host before the Add-NewADUser and store the secure string in a variable. Use that variable as the value for the -AccountPassword parameter.
