It seems there is a additional duplicate line, remove the last line $adsi = [ADSI]"WinNT://$env:COMPUTERNAME"

@LulzAnarchyAnon Seems there is a extra line left in your payload.

Thanks.
It compiled but it didn't work anyway.

I get this on the PS window

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $Username = @admin2@
At line:1 char:20

• $Username = @admin2@

Thank You for letting me know I suspect it would be a copy paste issue that caused it to happen....

[3DPixel]

Exactly the same happens if I download the script and import it. No copy/paste

[LulzAnarchyAnon]

My apologies, what I meant by copy/paste was. When I copied, and pasted it myself from my other repository.

@LulzAnarchyAnon there was a typo on the first line for REM on your pull, I went and fixed it since it was just missing a single letter.

[LulzAnarchyAnon]

Thank You! I noticed.
