Again.. same problem
cut/paste is evil
Just make sure any reference to -foregroundcolor is on the same line as
write-host. It is a parameter.
This is the line I think is erroring
#if(!($g.psbase.invoke("IsMember",$ary))){Write-Host "User Add
Failed!" -ForegroundColor Red}
This is just a comment so you can delete the whole line or at least make it
on one line
