LDAP Query never works

J

Jim in Arizona

We setup our AD network a few years ago wtih four domain controllers and
four sites (one DC per site). The setup was fair basic and strait
foward; one dc at each site, each dc named DC1, DC2, and so on, all a
single domain/forest. We named it hhs.local.

On a workstation when I try to query the directory using LDAP, I do so
like this:

1) start, run
2) in the run field I put ldap://hhs.local
3) I click ok and the find people window comes up.
4) I put in a name (mine, for instance) and click find now.
5) I get an error window that says: "An error occured while performing
the search. Your computer , your Internet service provider, or the
specified directory service may be disconnected. Check your connections
and try again. Operations Error.

If I try look through the directory using My Network Places, I am
successful (My Network Places, then clicking on Search Active Directory).

Not being able to access LDAP directly in such a way has never been an
issue until I wanted to do a little ASP.NET programming that will query
the directory using LDAP to get a list of usernames for a project on our
internal web server.

TIA,
Jim

You'll need to choose a username for the site, which only take a couple of moments. After that, you can post your question and our members will help you out.
