Summary: Use Windows PowerShell to easily create an organizational unit in Active Directory.
How can I use Windows PowerShell to create a new organizational unit (OU) in Active Directory?
Use the New-ADOrganizationalUnit cmdlet, and specify the name and path. A description is optional.
If you want to easily delete the OU later, set the ProtectedFromAccidentalDeletion flag to false.
Note The following command is a one-line command that accomplishes this:
New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name Charlotte -Path "dc=nwtraders,dc=com"
-Description "Charlotte office users" -ProtectedFromAccidentalDeletion:$false
