I was only using write-host as a bug check. I actually need to perform
operations on $myvar based on its contents. At the moment the mailbox I'm
pointing it to (my own) has autoreplystate disabled but when I do:
if ($state eq "enabled"){do this code}
it executes the code. That's why I put the write-host in, to check the value.
But changing that to $myvar.autoreplystate did the trick.
I swear... sometimes I assign values to vars and get the value. Sometimes I get
this @{ stuff (collection?) and I don't see a rhyme or reason to it. I did just
learn something though so thanks!

Just tested this,
write-host $myvar.autoreplystate did the trick

Write-Host is brain dead. If you use write-object in your code block it returns
what you'd expect.
If you do write-host $myvar.autoreplystate it also returns what you'd expect.
Seriously though, don't use write-host. It kills kittens.

Exchange-specific cmdlet but the actual question is more generic
$myvar = get-mailboxautoreplyconfiguration -identity <alias> | select-object
autoreplystate
write-host $myvar
outputs: @{Autoreplystate=disabled}
Why does $myvar get populated with that instead of just "Disabled"? I've been
searching and maybe I"m just using the wrong search terms but I'm getting
bupkes as an explanation for this or how to get only the value.
