forward slash display name parsing problem via LDAP in VBS

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I am trying to run a custom script to get some personal information for
all users in forest. This has to be scheduled as a weekly task and I
can't allow any run time errors.
During the process of creating user objects using:
strUsr = "LDAP://"; & str
set objUser = GetObject (strUsr)
I am getting an error as following (null): 0x80005000
I have identified the problem of having a '/' character in a display
name.
I was wondering if there is a way to overcome this or deal with it. Is
that a known ldap limitation?

Thanks, Alex.
