HI, all,
I came a cross a small issue with putting variables into the install-addsforest command, it doesn't like it at all in my workflow... I see errors like:
Install-ADDSForest : Verification of prerequisites for Domain Controller promotion failed. The specified argument 'DataBasePath' was not recognized.
and
Install-ADDSForest : Verification of prerequisites for Domain Controller promotion failed. The specified argument 'CreateDNSDelegation' was not recognized.
The Idea of the script is to create a test domain controller and add a couple of users...

$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($admusr, $pwd)

Get-Job -Name NewSrvSetup -State Suspended `
| Resume-Job}
New-ServerSetup -JobName NewSrvSetup -adminp $admpass -userp $usrpass -domainsuf $domainsuffix -domain $domainbio
Can someone spot what I am doing wrong here as the two errors above are bogus as the help section says they are valid values... I put in "write host" lines and the values seem to be correct in the the script block...
I just can't seem to get it to work properly...
Thanks in advance...
