Creating Qtree using Powershell Module

Dear all,

I trying to user the powershell module "NetApp.ONTAP" to create Qtree on an AFFC800, I believe this module calling API but I am not sure.

Anyway, the things, I am able to create a qtree using the command below :
PS > new-NcQtree -VserverContext vs-dc1-sandbox -Volume vs_dc1_sandbox_flexgroup_project -Qtree 140225_Test -SecurityStyle unix -Mode "0750"

However I need to specify the group (from active directoy) and if I do it fails with the error below
PS > new-NcQtree -VserverContext vs-dc1-sandbox -Volume vs_dc1_sandbox_flexgroup_project -Qtree 140225_Test -SecurityStyle unix -Mode "0750" -Group "acl_m"
## New-NcQtree : Cannot bind parameter 'Group'. Cannot convert the "acl_m" value of type "System.String" to type "DataONTAP.C.Types.Qtree.Group".
At line:1 char:137
+ ... t -Qtree 140225_Test -SecurityStyle unix -Mode "0750" -Group "acl_m"

I look up the web and I did not manage to find a solution to pass the group with the right type etc...
The AD group association with Qtree works well when creating using the CLI or the web interface.

Many thanks in advance for your help.
Nicolas

$mygroup = Get-NcGroup -VserverContext vs-dc1-sandbox -Name "acl_m"

you need to use the returned value. your "acl_m" isn't the correct type
