LDAP: error code 10 - 0000202B: RefErr: DSID-031005DD

[grace]

We deploy WebMethod application which uses LDAP query and
update the AD user records.
We occasionally receive the error "LDAP: error code 10 -
0000202B: RefErr: DSID-031005DD, data 0, 1 access points".
At the same time, most of records are updated to AD at the
same domain controller. The same AD user record sometimes
gets the update successfully, some time gets the above
error.

I have searched all over the internet/knowledge base and
couldn't find the exact error message.

Appreciate any hint or help for this.
Thanks.

2000 or 2003? What service pack if 2000?

202B maps to:
ERROR_DS_REFERRAL winerror.h
# A referral was returned from the server.

So the server is returning a referral.
Can you take a trace of what the app is trying to do when the problem is
reached? From there we can better understand what the application is trying
to do, and why the server is fialing as a result of it.
