It either shouldn't be stripping them or there should be a simple way of saying, yeah, don't strip the quotes IMO. Flexibilty... For example if I wanted to strip the quotes in my script, I change the second param to parse_words from 1 to 0.

You can use calculated properties to add them back. Import-Csv strips them (it uses quotes to deal with values that may have "," in them) import-csv joetest.csv | fl @{l='description';e={"`"{0}`"" -f $_.description}}, @{l='dn';e={"`"{0}`"" -f $_.dn}}, @{l='gplink';e={"`"{0}`"" -f $_.gplink}}, @{l='name';e={"`"{0}`"" -f $_.name}}, @{l='objectclass';e={"`"{0}`"" -f $_.objectclass}} If you need the quotes. You can use calculated properties to add them back. Import-Csv strips them (it uses quotes to deal with values that may have “,” in them)

import-csv joetest.csv | fl @{l=’description’;e={“`”{0}`”" -f $_.description}},
@{l=’dn’;e={“`”{0}`”" -f $_.dn}},

I've lost information, specifically with the quotes I know that OU=Users,OU=My,DC=Test,DC=loc has an invalid value for gPLink. Colbie rocks.
