OL2k3 LDAP No Such Object Error

After changing the search base on several machine to relfect our email
provider's new schema, I get "No Such Object. Possibly your search base is
invalid" errors when the user sends email. The odd thing is that they search
strings are correct. Actually doing a LDAP query using the search base
(through find) produces the correct results, meaning that the bases are not a
typo problem (at least that's how it seems to me). Most of the machines we
have changed DO NOT exibit this problem, but a couple of them do. I can't
find any hints to this via Google or or support.microsoft.com.

Thanks in advance!

OK! We figured it out. Outlook keeps a nickname file (outlook.nk2 in
our case) that it uses to fill in the address when you type the name
in the To: field. That file contains the ldap query strings for those
addresses. For some reason, some of the machines were still trying to
use the old query strings, while others updated correctly. Deleting
the nk2 file fixed the problem, although they'll have to rebuild
their name lists.

Next time, just delete the offending entry.
 
There isn't an "offending entry" per se. It generates an error for every (or
nearly so) name in the file.
