Why does New-ADOrganizationalUnit say “server unwilling”?

First check which account the PowerShell process is actually using. If you opened a session under a different account or in a remote desktop session, it may not have the permissions you expect. Run the command with an account allowed to create OUs in that location. Launching PowerShell as administrator can help with local machine permissions, but it does not by itself grant domain permissions.

There’s also a syntax issue in the examples: put a space between the closing quote for the `-Path` value and the next parameter. For example: `New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name "Test" -Path "DC=Noiz,DC=local" -ProtectedFromAccidentalDeletion $false`. Check the distinguished name against the actual domain naming context before running it.

“Access is denied” points strongly toward permissions or credentials. “Server unwilling” is less specific, so I’d verify the target path and the account’s rights there, then try the corrected command. If you’re using a remote session, confirm its credentials and which domain controller it’s talking to rather than assuming it matches the GUI session.
