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? Move-ADObject $Computer -targetpath "ou=Disabled PC & User,dc=csuchico,dc=edu" Best Regards, Mike Murray Desktop Management Coordinator - IT Support Services California State University, Chico 530.898.4357 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
