+# 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.
