adding a domain controller by powershell script - powershell

Question

Here is my code
# Create New Domain Controller
Import-Module ADDSDeployment
Install-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

Answer 1

PowerShell will assume the Install-ADDSDomainController line is complete and won't look on the next lines for more parameters.
You need to tell it there is more to the command by ending a line with a backtick:
#Create New Domain Controller
Import-Module ADDSDeployment
Install-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
