Can you build a delay in a powershell script?

My script works fine until I get to the last line where I enabled it as a distribution group in exchange. I get the error message that says:
The recipient "playlsi.com/test/testmail" could not be read from domain controller "dln1001p.playlsi.com". This may be due to replication delays. Switching out of Forest mode should allow this operation to complete successfully.
At :line:16 char:25
+ Enable-DistributionGroup <<<< $name -PrimarySmtpAddress $email
If I do the last line 10 seconds later it works fine. I think if I delay the last line a few seconds the whole script will work flawlessly.
Here is my script:
$GroupName = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter Group Name'
#OU where to look for OUs
$OU = "OU=test,DC=Playlsi,DC=com"
#Gets a list of all OUs inside $OU
get-qadobject -type OrganizationalUnit -sizeLimit 0 -searchRoot $ou |
# Exclude the parent container
where {$_.ParentContainerDN -eq $ou } |
foreach {
$name = $_.name -replace "_.*$","_" + $GroupName
$email = $name + "@playlsi.com"
New-QADGroup -ParentContainer $OU -Name $name -DisplayName $name -samAccountName $name -GroupType Distribution -GroupScope Universal |
Set-QADGroup -email $email
#Mail enables so it appears in Exchange as a distribution group
Enable-DistributionGroup $name -PrimarySmtpAddress $email
}

In PowerShell v1 you can add delay by doing:
[System.Threading.Thread]::Sleep(10000)
In PowerShell v2 there is a start-sleep cmdlet:
Start-Sleep -Second 10

Can you share the location you added "[System.Threading.Thread]::Sleep(10000)" to your script? I'm really new to scripting sorry for the newbe question.
