Errors do not trigger try{}catch{} statements #217

I am trying to build some error handling into my code. Normally try and catch statements are very handy for this. However, if you do something like my simple code below it will never actually trigger the catch statement. Is there a work around for this? How should I catch errors?

Try { Update-GSUser -User email@domain.com -OrgUnitPath $InvalidOUPath } catch { "unable to update $user's OU" | Out-File $log -append }

Hey @Chris4678 - If you add -ErrorAction Stop to your Update-GSUser call, it should trigger a terminating error and catch it appropriately. Let me know if your experience is different!
