    Try this:

    $startingOU = "OU=EMEA,DC=xxx,DC=zzz"
    $hash = [ordered]@{}
    $oulist = @()
    get-adobject -filter * -property objectcategory -searchbase $startingOU -SearchScope subtree |
        ForEach-Object{
            if ($_.objectcategory -like "*Organizational-Unit*"){
                $oulist += $_.distinguishedName
            }
        }
    ForEach ($ou in $oulist){
        $hash['OU'] = $ou
        get-adobject -filter * -property objectcategory -SearchBase $ou -SearchScope OneLevel |
            ForEach-Object{
                if ($_.objectcategory -notlike "*Organizational-Unit*"){
                    $hash[($_.objectcategory -replace "cn=(.+?),cn=.*$", '$1')]++
                }
            }
            [PSCustomObject]$hash
            $hash.Clear()
        }

    Hi, Thank you but it does not work. Here is a script that works but the problem is that it displays in the pane all the objects number per category for all the subOU. I just want the number for the 2nd level subOU like this :

    Toto.com      
          France
                DJ
                    Servers
                    Groups
                    Users
                NC
                PA
                ...
    
    I just want the number for the DJ, NC, PA ... subOU only
