Hello,
i ran into an issue when i got the request to copy a description attribute from one container object to another container object.
The problem here is that the description string is very long and doesn´t even get displayed correctly in Active Directory Users and Computers.. The only place where the attribute gets displayed correctly is in adsiedit.msc..
When using
get-adobject -Identity "CN=PDP,CN=TestApplication,CN=Program Data,DC=contoso,DC=dir" -Properties Description -Server contoso.dir
I only get one line of the multivalued Description attribute. However when using dsquery.. it is possible to retrieve the whole string which is somehting like this:

My issue now is that i see no possibility to write this string to a container object.. I supposed it must be possible with dsmod but there is no category "container" for dsmod.. And powershell is giving me following error when i try to place this
string into the description
Does someone maybe know a solution to my problem?
