Prestage Computer Object in Subdomain

Question

Trying to precreate a computer object in a subdomain. It works sometimes (1 in 15) with a "Directory Object Not Found" error. I'm doing this through a powershell workflow
(for WAP/SMA - hence the credential call). The credential has full access on the target OU. The if statement is for multiple domains I have but shortened up for sake of cleanliness here.
The best I can tell is it's some sort of error with how it's looking for the OU where the server should end up. Code below- anyone delt with this before?
workflow Precreate-Object
Param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)][String]$servername,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)][String]$datacenter,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)][String]$ou
$PSUserCredAD = Get-AutomationPSCredential -Name "Automation Credential"
if ($datacenter -like "Subdomain")
$domaincontroller = "subdomain.location.domain.com"
InlineScript{
New-ADComputer -Name $using:servername -Path "$using:ou" -Server $using:domaincontroller -Credential $using:PSUserCredAD
Full error below:

Answer 1

Your error is explicit.  YOu are asking a specific dc for the info and it is saying it doesn't exist on the domain.  IIt is not saying no access or anything else.  The object does not exist as specified.  Fix the DN and it will likely
work.
ObjectNotFound: (CN=Servername,CN=...domain,DC=com:String)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
