set-aduser property

Question

i want to do this:

get-aduser test-user | set-aduser -Remove @{msds-sourceanchor = "xxxxx"}

But i get a syntax error as the "-" in "msds-sourceanchor" is not allowed

Answer 1

But that's not what the error message says. Translation: "=" missing after a key in the hashliteral.

You said you want to do this: set-aduser -Remove @{msds-sourceanchor = "xxxxx"}, but you've done this: set-aduser -Remove @{msds-sourceanchor}

What you need to do is this: @{"msds-sourceanchor" = "xxxx"}

Answer 2

OK, the quotationmarks did it :-)

thanks

kind regards
