#Variables for processing
$WebURL="https://sharepoint.crescent.com/teams/marketing"
$NavigationTitle="Employee Profile"
$NavigationLink="https://peoplesoft.crescent.com/employee/profile.aspx"
#Get the Web
$Web= Get-SPWeb $WebURL
#Get Top Navigation
$TopNavigation = $Web.Navigation.TopNavigationBar
#For Quick Launch, Use: Navigation.QuickLaunch
#Create a New Top Navigation Node
$node = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Navigation.SPNavigationNode($NavigationTitle, $NavigationLink, $true)
#Add the Node
$TopNavigation.AddAsLast($node)
#Set the Target Property - Will work only when Publishing features is enabled
