your welcome, glad it helped
b.t.w. I can't test it but I think you can just use the property also :
you can replace get_parent() by parent
and shorten this :
$de = new-object system.directoryservices.directoryentry("LDAP://" +
> $objRootDse.ConfigurationNamingContext)
to :
$de = [adsi]LDAP://$($objRootDse.ConfigurationNamingContext)
or even :
$de = [adsi]""
