Hello,I am trying to create a script that will create a database, a datafile with a particular naming convention, and place it in a directory that is created, also using a naming convention, and put it all in the primary filegroup. But I am having difficulties, I feel like I am almost there but I'm missing something or other and have hit a dead end. Looking for some advice or ideas on where I am going wrong.---------------------------------------------------------------Import-Module "SqlPs" -DisableNameChecking $DatafileName = $DBName +"_D1.mdf"$LogFileName = $DBName +"_L1.ldf"$InstanceName="MyInstanceName"$DBServerName="DBServerName"$DrvLetter = "E"+':\'$InstanceName = "InstanceName"$AppID = "ABC"$AppName = "Connect4"$DBName="TESTDB"$DataFile = New-Item -ItemType Directory -path ("$DrvLetter"+'SQLDATA\MSSQL$'+"$InstanceName"+'\'+"$AppID"+'\'+"$AppName"+'\'+"$DBName"+'\'+"$DatafileName") $LogFile = New-Item -ItemType Directory -path "$DrvLetter"+'SQLLOGS\MSSQL$'+"$InstanceName"+'\'+"$AppID"+'\'+"$AppName"+'\'+"$DBName"+'\'+"$LogfileName")$BakFile = New-Item -ItemType Directory -path ("$DrvLetter"+'SQLBAK\MSSQL$'+"$InstanceName"+'\'+"$AppID")$Server = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server -ArgumentList "$DBServerName\$InstanceName"#Create The Database$DB = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database ($Server, $DBName)#$Server.Databases[$DBName] ####I thought this line would tell Powershell what database I wanted to work with, but I think it just gives out info on that database.$fg = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.FileGroup ($DB, 'PRIMARY')$SqlData.FileName = ("$DrvLetter"+'SQLDATA\MSSQL$'+"$InstanceName"+'\'+"$AppID"+'\'+"$AppName"+'\'+"$DBName"+'\'+"$DatafileName")$SqlData = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.DataFile -ArgumentList ($fg, $DatafileName)$SqlData.Create()$DB.Create()$Error[0]|Format-List -Force----------------------------------------------------The error I am currently getting is...Exception : System.Management.Automation.MethodInvocationException: Exception calling "Create" with "0" argument(s): "Create failed for DataFile 'TESTDB_D1.mdf'.

The database still gets created, but using the SQL server default file locations.
