PowerShell RC2 and Active Directory
PowerShell RC2 and Active Directory Part 2
Changes to Active Directory Support in RC2 (ADSI wrapper)
As you have PowerShell 1.0 (or beta RC2 ) Installed all my AD post will not work anymore, as there is an Wrapper added to ADSI (DirectoryEntry ) object,This wrapper is very confusing, and I still really do not like it (See for motivation Part2 of the series), but all is fixable if you read the explanation in this posts you can get everything working again.
The examples in my AD series, will most of the time not work anymore, most of the things discussed will not seem to be there (they are still there but hidden in the PSBase property) , so if you did not do AD in PowerShell before, The series will be hard to follow, as a lot of the methods and properties used seem to be not there anymore. I will explain what has happened in this posts and give the ways to solve this.

In this post I will follow the Sesame Script Article with similar command in PowerShell and point out the PowerShell Specifics, be sure to read the part in the "Sesame Script" article completely first.
