this is the script, I just created some test OU's inside active directory. the script works but I get some weird issues which I don't understand.

can somebody clarify what is going on ? it creates the OU's with success but this issue appeared.i lauched it in Powershell ISE
I tried a few thing by converting it to string but doesn't really make sense to me when my arrays are string arrays.
You just need to expand the DistinguishedName attribute instead of using Format-Table (meant only for console display) and Out-String:
$DEPsOUs = #("A","B","C","D")
$createOUs = #('Users', 'Tester')
ForEach ($DEPOU In $DEPsOUs) {
$DEPOUDN = (Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Filter "Name -eq '$DEPOU'").DistinguishedName
ForEach ($createOU IN $createOUs) {
New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name $createOU -Path $DEPOUDN
}
}

How can I overcome this problem? Why it requires internet explorer engine?
EDIT: I tried to modify the code in this way:
$site = "https://www.pi.infn.it/~rizzo/ingegneria/appunti_fisII_ing_mecc/"
$psPage = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $site -UseBasicParsing
$urls = $psPage.ParsedHtml.getElementsByTagName("A")
$urls | where {$_.pathname -like "*pdf"} | % {Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "$site$($_.pathname)" -OutFile $_.pathname }
and the error is:

In your way : First you have to remove "about:" in your URL or replace it by nothing :
$site = "https://www.pi.infn.it/~rizzo/ingegneria/appunti_fisII_ing_mecc/"
$psPage = Invoke-WebRequest $site
$urls = $psPage.ParsedHtml.getElementsByTagName("A") | ? {$_.href -like "*.pdf"} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty href | ForEach-Object {$_.replace("about:", "")}
Second you have to recreate full URL :
$urls | ForEach-Object {Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "$site$_" -OutFile $_ }
But you can simplify using "textcontent" or "pathname" :
$site = "https://www.pi.infn.it/~rizzo/ingegneria/appunti_fisII_ing_mecc/"
$psPage = Invoke-WebRequest $site
$urls = $psPage.ParsedHtml.getElementsByTagName("A")
$urls | where {$_.pathname -like "*pdf"} | % {Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "$site$($_.pathname)" -OutFile $_.pathname }

You're not setting the variable correctly.
Your code...
disk=Get-Disk | where {$_.PartitionStyle -eq "RAW"}
Needs to have a $ in front to make "disk" a variable
$disk = Get-Disk | where {$_.PartitionStyle -eq "RAW"}

I'm confused because if I'm reading the message correctly it shouldn't be able to grab the username thus not get the correct folder and the size.
