adding a domain controller by powershell script

Question 1

Here is my code

# Create New  Domain Controller Import-Module ADDSDeploymentInstall-ADDSDomainController -InstallDns -Credential (Get-Credential BPLTest.lab\Administrator) -DomainName "BPLtest.lab"  -NoGlobalCatalog:$false   -InstallDns:$True   -CreateDnsDelegation:$false   -CriticalReplicationOnly:$false   -DatabasePath "C:\NTDS"   -LogPath "C:\NTDS"   -SysvolPath "C:\SYSVOL"   -NoRebootOnCompletion:$false   -SiteName "Default-First-Site-Name"   -Force:$true

Now this code should install a domain controller into the my BPLTest.lab domain in my lab. I have run the ad prerequistes and also added RSAT tools for AD in another prior script. They work perfectly. However this script will install domain controller but I cant get it adjust things like the SysvolPath, DatabasePath and logpath. It keeps telling me it doesnt recognise these cmdlets. ANy ideas what I am doing wrong

Question 2

PowerShell will assume theInstall-ADDSDomainController line is complete and won't look on the next lines for more parameters.

You need totell it there is more to the command by ending a line with a backtick:

#Create New  Domain Controller Import-Module ADDSDeploymentInstall-ADDSDomainController -InstallDns -Credential (Get-Credential BPLTest.lab\Administrator) -DomainName "BPLtest.lab" `  -NoGlobalCatalog:$false `  -InstallDns:$True `  -CreateDnsDelegation:$false `  -CriticalReplicationOnly:$false `  -DatabasePath "C:\NTDS" `  -LogPath "C:\NTDS" `  -SysvolPath "C:\SYSVOL" `  -NoRebootOnCompletion:$false `  -SiteName "Default-First-Site-Name" `  -Force:$true

Or by putting the variables into a dictionary of parameters first, and then 'splatting' them into the cmdlet as described here:https://stackoverflow.com/a/24313253/478656
