Powershell expand property produces one long string

Question

I'm trying to take a list of groups and use the name of the group to create a Group Policy Object with the same name, but I want to replace the Group portion of the name with GPO, however, it comes out as one long string, and creates the name of the GPO as one long name.

  $groupname = Get-ADGroup -searchbase "OU=examplegroup,DC=example,DC=com" -Filter * | where { $_.name -ne "example"} | select -ExpandProperty name
    $groupname = $groupname.replace("Group","Gpo")
    foreach ($group in $groupname) { New-GPO -name "$groupname"}

Answer 1

The name for the new GPO is in the variable $group, not $groupname. Run the New-GPO-bit using the WhatIf-parameter to try it out first.

$groupname = Get-ADGroup -searchbase "OU=examplegroup,DC=example,DC=com" -Filter * | where { $_.name -ne "example"} | select -ExpandProperty name
$groupname = $groupname.replace("Group","Gpo")
foreach ($group in $groupname) { New-GPO -name $group -WhatIf}
