New-ADOrganizationalUnit – Server is unwilling to process the request

Running a PowerShell script to create Organizational Units within my HomeLab Domain Controllers. Received the following error when running the script:

New-ADOrganizationalUnit : The server is unwilling to process the request

In my powershell script, the path had the wrong Domain. See highlighted below.

It should read dev instead of devschema.

Once updated, the script will run without an issue.
