Test-MtAdOuAtDomainRootCount

SYNOPSIS​

Counts the number of Organizational Units at the domain root level in Active Directory.

SYNTAX​

Test-MtAdOuAtDomainRootCount [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION​

This test counts OUs that are direct children of the domain root (e.g., DC=maester,DC=test). Understanding the OU structure at the root level helps assess the organization and hierarchy of the directory. A flat structure with many root-level OUs may indicate a need for better organizational hierarchy.
