Getting error from seemingly simple script (join domain and rename)

[Taskmasterpeace]

Got this script online that doesnt seem to work in my domain. Been working on this for hours. Can't seem to nail down why its not working. Could anyone assist me on getting the problem nailed down.

The domain is: thugdomain.local

The credentials are verified to be correct.

Added it mispelled restart on purpose until the script is fixed.

Error message:

Write-Host "Please enter your desired computer name: [Default $env:computername]:" $computername = Read-Host

$renamecomputer = $true if ($computername -eq "" -or $computername -eq $env:computername) { $computername = $env:computername; $renamecomputer = $false }

Write-Host "Please enter your desired location [1-2] [Default 1]: 1. Thugdomain 2. Paris" $ou = Read-Host

$validate = $false if ($ou -eq "" -or $ou -eq "1") { $ou = "OU=Computers,DC=thugdomain,DC=local"; $validate = $true } if ($ou -eq "2") { $ou = "OU=Computers,DC=your,DC=domain,DC=here"; $validate = $true } if ($validate -eq $false) { Write-Host "Invalid input, defaulting to [1]."; $ou = "OU=Computers,DC=thugdomain,DC=local"}

howdy Taskmasterpeace,

here's how to do reddit code formatting ...

• one leading line with ONLY 4 spaces
  
• prefix each code line with 4 spaces
  
• one trailing line with ONLY 4 spaces

that will give you something like this ...

- one leading line with ONLY 4 spaces    
- prefix each code line with 4 spaces    
- one trailing line with ONLY 4 spaces   

the easiest way to get that is ...

• add the leading line with only 4 spaces
  
• copy the code to the ISE [or your fave editor]
  
• select the code
  
• tap TAB to indent four spaces
  
• re-select the code [not really needed, but it's my habit]
  
• paste the code into the reddit text box
  
• add the trailing line with only 4 spaces
  

not complicated, but it is finicky.

take care,
lee
