Dynamically grabbing domain info

[markdmac]

I have the following script for creating an OU. This works as expected.

$objDomain = [ADSI]"LDAP://localhost:389/DC=MyCompany,DC=Local"

$objOU = $objDomain.Create("organizationalUnit", "ou=MarkTestOU")

$objOU.SetInfo()

If however I try to dynamically grab the domain info it fails

$RootDSE = New-Object directoryservices.directoryentry('LDAP://rootDSE') 
$Root = New-Object directoryservices.directoryentry("LDAP://$($RootDSE.DefaultNamingContext)") 

$objDomain = [ADSI]"LDAP://localhost:389/"+$Root.DistinguishedName

$objOU = $objDomain.Create("organizationalUnit", "ou=MarkTestOU")

$objOU.SetInfo()

Can anyone assist?

Have you tried

$objDomain = [ADSI]("LDAP://locahost:389/" + $RootDSE.DefaultNamingContext)

So this is the full code that worked for me

$rootDSE = New-Object DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://rootDSE")
$objDomain = [ADSI]("LDAP://localhost:389/" + $rootDSE.DefaultNamingContext)
$objOU = $objDomain.Create("organizationalUnit", "ou=MyTestOU")
$objOU.SetInfo()
