Unable to export OU Structure

[Arbelac]

Hi,

I want to export my OU Structure via your script. But no luck. I have imported your module.

Import-Module PSJumpStart -Verbose

Thank you for reporting an issue!

The ConvertTo-GenericStrings and ConvertFrom-GenericStrings are local functions found in the "localLib" folder that should be in the same folder as the Export-AdOuStructure.ps1.

The command "Import-Module PSJumpStart" will load any functions found in a localLib folder. Hope this will help you.

I'm having the exact same issue as the originator of this thread and I can't find those missing modules anywhere in the your PSJumpStart installed module (or on my hard drive). How do I get these other required functions loaded as they don't appear to be included with your PSJumpStart project?

I finally noticed the locallib folder at the top of the file list in Github, so once I openened the folder and downloaded the ps1 files into my locallib folder, the scripts started working without errors. :)

I hope that this little tip helps someone else along the way.
