PowerShell Code: ADSI Convert Domain Distinguished Name to Fully Qualified Domain Name

Convert Domain Distinguished Name to Fully Qualified Domain Name:
$ADObjectDN = “CN=Object1,OU=OrgUnit1,DC=child,DC=domain,DC=com”
[array]$ADObjectDNArray = $ADObjectDN -Split(“,DC=”)
        [int]$DomainNameFECount = 0
        ForEach ($ADObjectDNArrayItem in $ADObjectDNArray)
            {
                IF ($DomainNameFECount -gt 0)
                { [string]$ADObjectDNArrayItemDomainName += $ADObjectDNArrayItem + “.” }
                $DomainNameFECount++
            }
$ADObjectDNDomainName = $ADObjectDNArrayItemDomainName.Substring(0,$ADObjectDNArrayItemDomainName.Length-1)
Convert Domain Fully Qualified Domain Name to Distinguished Name:
$DomainFullyQualifiedDomainName = “child.domain.com”
$DomainFullyQualifiedDomainNameArray = $DomainFullyQualifiedDomainName -Split(“\.”)
[int]$DomainNameFECount = 0
ForEach ($DomainFullyQualifiedDomainNameArrayItem in $DomainFullyQualifiedDomainNameArray)
{ 
    IF ($DomainNameFECount -eq 0)
        { [string]$ADObjectDNArrayItemDomainName += “DC=” +$DomainFullyQualifiedDomainNameArrayItem }
    ELSE 
        { [string]$ADObjectDNArrayItemDomainName += “,DC=” +$DomainFullyQualifiedDomainNameArrayItem }
    $DomainNameFECount++
}
$ADObjectDNArrayItemDomainName
OR
$Domain=”Child1.Root.com”
$DomainDN = “DC=$($Domain.replace(“.”, “,DC=”))”
$DomainDN
(thanks Bill!)
Extract the Domain Distinguished Name From an Active Directory Distinguished Name:
$ADObjectDN = “CN=Object1,OU=OrgUnit1,DC=child,DC=domain,DC=com”
[array]$ADObjectDNArray = $ADObjectDN -Split(“,DC=”)
        [int]$DomainNameFECount = 0
        ForEach ($ADObjectDNArrayItem in $ADObjectDNArray)
            {
                IF ($DomainNameFECount -gt 0)
                { [string]$ADObjectDNArrayItemDomainName += $ADObjectDNArrayItem + “.” }
                $DomainNameFECount++
            }
$ADObjectDNDomainName = $ADObjectDNArrayItemDomainName.Substring(0,$ADObjectDNArrayItemDomainName.Length-1)
