Can I see your example? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Winstanley Sent: Tuesday, October 7, 2014 2:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mssms] PowerShell experts - help, please
Mike, I'm quite easily able to move an object using Move-ADObject and to a targetpath with a & without an error. This is using my DC running PS v2.0 If I attempt to use "&" I get the error you have stated. None of the probably helps you but I say it because you should be able to run this without attempting any escaping.

However, whoever named our Disabled OU did me no favors. It’s called “Disabled PC & User”. If I use the PS command below, it errors with “The ampersand (&) character is not allowed. The & operator is reserved for future use…”. I’ve tried escaping the “&” with quotes, double quotes, etc., still no luck. Can someone help?
