Is there a way to query OU's that Match a certain name, with the computer objects in it.

Example:   I want to query all call computers,  that are in an OU,  that have the Name "Servers"

thank you for your help

Here you go:

$allcomputers = Get-ADComputer -Filter *
foreach ($computer in $allcomputers)
{
	if ($computer.DistinguishedName -like "*Server*")
	{
		$computer.name
	}
}

Thank you for your reply.   I was looking for something to query Active Directory.   I have an application that I can do custom queries.    this query gives me all the OU's that have the name "Server" ,   however, I need the computer in those OU's.   (&(objectclass=organizationalunit)(name=Server))

Thank you.

Run this via PowerShell in your Domain Controller. PowerShell is installed automatically if you have 2008 R2. 

Import-Module activedirectory
Get-ADComputer -Filter {name -like "*server*"} -Searchbase "OU=Computers,DC=Contoso,DC=com" | FT		

For LDAP filters, only equality operator is allowed for the DistinguishedName. Richard already described that here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/5392.active-directory-ldap-syntax-filters.aspx

If only LDAP filters are allowed for searching then you won't be allowed to search based on the DN. However, you might think about the following:

• Create a custom attribute like COMPANYCustom1
• Create Powershell scripts that will set a special flag in COMPANYCustom1 dependent of the computer DN
• Use COMPANYCustom1 for LDAP filtering by the application
