Script works in PowerShell ISE but not in regular PowerShell window

hello all!

i've got ps conundrum ponder.  have following script lines:

write-host"check password complexity requirements:"-foregroundcolorblack-backgroundcolorwhite

write-host""

import-moduleactivedirectory

$passwordpolicy=get-adobject$rootdse.defaultnamingcontext -propertypwdproperties

$passwordpolicy|select@{n="policytype";e={"password"}},`

distinguishedname,`

@{n

="password complexity requirements";e={switch($_.pwdproperties) {

0{"passwords can simple , administrator account cannot locked out"} 

1{"passwords must complex , administrator account cannot locked out"} 

8{"passwords can simple, , administrator account can locked out"} 

9{"passwords must complex, , administrator account can locked out"} 

default{$_.pwdproperties}}}} |ft*-auto

when run code in ise, works great.  returns value setting "1" gpo set to.

but, when run same code in elevated powershell prompt, following error:

any appreciated.

you can't use variable if haven't created it.
