Ended up working it out. Simple oversight on my part...I was stepping on my
own variables:
---------------------
ForEach ($Site in $Sites) {
$SubnetName = $Site.subnet
$Description = $Site.description
$Site = $Site.site
$Location = $Site.location
New-ADReplicationSubnet -Name $SubnetName -Site $ADSite -Description
$Description -Location $Location -PassThru
------------------------
Just had to change the name of the $Site variable to something else. Thanks
for chiming in guys.
