Test if AD object/path exists

This Test-QADObject (Test-QADPath) function I have created gives a quick true or false answer on whether a specific user, computer, group, OU already exists in your domain.

Test-QADObject 'OU=demo,DC=quest,DC=local'

I have posted the whole code with proper help and parameter handling to poshcode. Here’s a simplified one for the blog:

function Test-QADObject {
 param($Identity)
 
 (Get-QADObject $Identity -DontUseDefaultIncludedProperties `
  -WarningAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue `
  -SizeLimit 1) -ne $null
}
