I have a question about how to add users to AD using powershell, ive written a small script but i always get an error when i try to create a user.

$connection= "LDAP://ou=Users, dc="domain", dc="com" 
    $OU = [adsi] $Connection
            $User = $OU.Create("user", "Test Person")
            $User.Put("Firstname", "Test")
            $User.Put("Surname", Person)
            $User.Put("Email", "email@e.com")
            $User.SetInfo()

I think my connection string is wrong, but i tried different ways already and still no success. This im trying locally. Need to get it working but then normally my AD is on different server, how to do it then?

Thanks in advance.

    Give this a try:

    $container = [ADSI] "LDAP://dc.sopragroup.lan/cn=Users,dc=sopragroup,dc=lan"
$UserName = "user"
$User = $container.Create("User", "cn=" + $UserName)
$User.Put("sAMAccountName", $UserName)
$User.Put("givenName", "Test")
$User.Put("sn", "Person")
$User.Put("mail", "email@e.com")
$User.SetInfo()
$User.psbase.InvokeSet('AccountDisabled', $false)
$User.SetInfo()
$User.SetPassword("P@55w0rd")
