Hi,
I did multiple tests and provided as much information as I could gather in this post. I'm trying to implement passing computer description into Active Directory during the building process. In the frontend everything works fine, you insert a description that current computer needs to have in Active Directory then it's passed onto SCCM.
I have an issue where only first word is passed over to Active Directory Description. However, when it's a one word it works fine but when there are spaces between words, only the first word is being passed over.
To give you an idea here's a simple example:
"Test" will insert just fine into the Description in Active Directory.
"Windows Test" will only pass a word "Windows" into the Description in Active Directory.
Here are all the scripts:
UI++:
Powershell:
I have tried to fix this issue for a very long time, weeks upon weeks and nothing seems to work. Anyone have any idea why the description with spaces is not being fully passed over into Active Directory ?
Thanks
