foreach($Boundary in $BoundaryList){

}
$Boundaries represents the entire collection of Boundary objects. When you
use $Boundaries.DisplayName, PowerShell is echoing out the DisplayName
property from ALL the Boundary objects, which results in an array of
strings, rather than a single String, which the New-CMDeviceCollection
cmdlet is expecting to be passed into its -Name parameter.

Here's the error:

'System.String' required by parameter 'Name'. Specified method is not
supported.
