Register-ObjectIdentifier

[madburg]

Small bug, but clarity required, also critical in multi domain infra.

When calling Register-ObjectIdentifier function with or without the argument '-UseActiveDirectory' the confirmation dialog states that the change is targeted for the local host.

e.g. using argument '-UseActiveDirectory'

Performing the operation "Register object identifier with name: "<what was specified on cmdline>" and value:
"<What was specified on cmdline>" $${\color{red} on \space target \space "\color{white}&lt;Hostname&gt;\color{red}" }$$

However this should not be the case when specifying the '-UseActiveDirectory' argument it should display something AD based not local host, thus confirming the change will be attempted against AD.

so either a simple "target: AD", however I would suggest confirming that domain in which the change will be attempted in "target: %Domain Name%"; as domain can be sourced from local asset or the user executing the function. In a single forest multi domain model as an example this would matter, as the asset could be domain join to one domain and the user could be logging into another domain..
More detailed, then including DN path which would contain domain that is being targeted for the change "target: CN=OID,CN=Public Key Services,CN=..."

Same would have to be adjusted on: Unregister-ObjectIdentifier, however I could not get that function to work at all.
Opening separate issue for it.

Fair enough.
