    I am trying to add to my script a connector to connect to another Domain. I keep getting the below error when trying to connect.

    New-PSDrive : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Server'.

    I am using the below. 

    if (-not(Get-PSDrive DomainB)) {
    New-PSDrive `
        –Name DomainB `
        –PSProvider ActiveDirectory `
        –Server "DC.DomainB.local" `
        –Credential (Get-Credential ‘DOMAINB\Test’) `
        –Root ‘//RootDSE/’ `
        -Scope Global
    }Else{
    "Drive already exists"
    }

    I want the script to then Set-Location so it can run the commands prompted in the new Domain. However i keep getting the error. Google has found little, has this been removed from PS. Or can someone advise a better way?

    Thanks in advance all.

    I figured it out in the end its simple.

    Its connecting to AD but you need the AD Module loaded and running in effect. So i added Import-Module ActiveDirectory  to my script and it works fine now.

    The error is correct.  The parameter doesn't exist and never has.

    In the future try looking up the command in the documentation.

    Plenty of reference to its use online. Also tried the suggestions on a thread here on it

    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/cc3e0faf-3fe8-46a2-85fc-03606f9be0f1/server-parameter-not-found-in-newpsdrive?forum=winserverpowershell

    So it clearly exists and checking has shown uses. Actually the command is working when done in Visiual Studio Code move to run in PS and it fails. 


    Thanks
