# Program Name: AutoOUADCreator
# Purpose of script: Create a batch set of OU' using a CSV file within an existing Active Directory Forest.
# Extra Notes: Modify line 37 with appropriate domain info. (AlphaDelta.com is used in this scenario)
#Import the Active Directory module to allow modifcations to the forest.
import-module ActiveDirectory
#Get user to specify path of the CSV file containing OU names to be added into the Active Directory.
$fpath = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter the path to your CSV file containing OU info to be added within the Active Directory Domain Forest:"
# Check if CSV file exists with the path specified by the end-user
# If so, error out the program with generic error stating so. (RAYYAN Contribution)
# This uses the "Test-Path" cmdlet which tests if the path actually exists and can be read by the system.
