I have this script (yes I am using some stuff from Quest)

$VAR = 0
while ($VAR -ne 10)
{
$VAR++
New-QADUser -ParentContainer 'OU=Test,DC=domain,DC=local' -Name
"Test User$var"
}


How can I prevent the script from showing a line for each user added.
I just want a output line when the script has run.

You have a couple of options:

$results = New-QADUser -ParentContainer 'OU=Test,DC=domain,DC=local' -Name
"Test User$var"

if you want to keep the output of this cmdlet. If you don't want the output
at all then you could also do this:

New-QADUser -ParentContainer 'OU=Test,DC=domain,DC=local' -Name "Test
User$var" > $null

Piping to out-null should do the trick:

$VAR = 0
while ($VAR -ne 10)
{
$VAR++
New-QADUser -ParentContainer 'OU=Test,DC=domain,DC=local' -Name "Test
User$var" | out-null
}

$null = New-QADUser -ParentContainer 'OU=Test,DC=domain,DC=local' -Name
"Test User$var"

should work as well

casting to void works.. here being a cmdlet you gotta put the
expression in a ()

but if its say just a method on a dotnet object you could do

[void]$a.additem()
