Here is an example of how to GET the value for a troublesome property with an operator in the name:
 Code:
Break ON
 
$objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo") 
$strUserDN = $objSysInfo.userName 
$oADObject = GetObject("LDAP://" + $strUserDN)

$sAttribute="uwh-department1"
"Current value of '"+$sAttribute+"'="+$oADObject.Get($sAttribute)+@CRLF


The corresponding action to write a property is .Put() or .PutEx() followed by .SetInfo()

Edit Reason: Changed term "attribute" to "property" as it's more appropriate
