I have some C++ code that has been working just fine for looking up
group type & group member****p information for the past 3 years. It
calls ADsGetObject() to bind to the group object using an LDAP URL as
follows:
"LDAP://CN=NSMAdmins,CN=Users,DC=w2k3ee,DC=local"
The interface being requested is IID_IDirectoryObject.
This was working fine when the code was built using the WinXP Platform
SDK on a WinXP Pro SP2 system running MS Visual Studio 2003 .NET.
Recently, I had to recompile the application on Vista Ultimate x64 SP1
[targeting a 32-bit x86 platform] using Visual Studio 2008 with the
latest Microsoft Platform SDK v6.1. After doing a "clean" and then a
"build", with no errors and only a few harmless warnings about usage of
a deprecated strcpy() function, I ran the code to test it. Without
having made any actual changes to the code, it no longer runs properly
and ADsGetObject() is failing with an HRESULT value of 0x800401e4, which
is do***ented as meaning "Invalid Syntax", but for which no other
reference material seems to exist.
I'm running the code on a Win2K3 EE R2 x64 SP2 system. Previous builds
of the application still run OK on this system, it's only the newer
build that fails in this way.
Has anybody else run across this problem before? Is there an online
reference that provides info for diagnosing this problem?
