After being challenged by Jason on my previous script, I created the Get-ADMapObject script.

Running the script creates three functions:

• Get-ADMapObject (which takes a string or array of strings of the AD object classes)
• Get-ADObjectClassName (recurses through your Active Directory and returns the names of the object classes)
• New-SourceTarget (to get the ADMapObjects into the format that Show-Netmap wants).

Before the script runs, it will check for the dependencies (Doug’s script and the NetMap dll’s) and advise you if there are any missing. I’d love some feedback!
