Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Identity acceptable values

[Cory847]

The acceptable values listed for the parameter -Identity are A distinguished name A GUID (objectGUID) A security identifier (objectSid) A Security Account Manager account name (sAMAccountName)

I don't think Security Account Manager account name (sAMAccountName) is an acceptable value. I have never seen an OU with a sAMAccountName. I also don't think security identifier (objectSid) is a valid value either, but I am less sure of that.

Get-Help Get-ADOrganizationalUnit also does not list Security Account Manager account name (sAMAccountName) or security identifier (objectSid).
