LDAP Query

[Mike]

I have a copier that uses LDAP to query AD for an email
address list. I have to fill in a field called "Search
Directory Root" then a logon name and password. We have
a very simple single domain yet I can't get this to
work. I am using LDAP://servername/DC=domain,DC=com for
my directory root. Is this syntax correct?

Thanks

Hi Mike-

What happens if you try the format of
LDAP://servername.domain.com/DC=domain,DC=COM ?

Usually that means just the DN you want to start your search at. If your
lists are dispersed throughout the domain, you need to search the entire
domain so it would likely be:

dc=domain,dc=com

If they're in a specific OU, say OU=Lists, then it might be:

ou=lists,dc=domain,dc=com

Hope that helps.

Unless the printer is using ADSI (highly doubtful) then you don't want the
LDAP://servername/ in there.
