Specifying a server in place of ROOTDSE

[swlymer]

Hello,

How do I sepcify a physical server in place of rootdes??

If I replace Set rootdse = GetObject("LDAP://rootdse") with Set rootdse = GetObject("LDAP://CN=SERVERNAME,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=XXX,DC=XXX,DC=XXX,DC=com")

I get an error on
domainContainer = rootdse.Get("defaultNamingContext")

telling me the property does not exist in the directory cace.

Can I not specify the rootdes??

Thansk!!

You cannot return the default naming context from a computer object.

By doing the replace you have specified you are binding to a computer object and just calling it rootdse. Default naming context is not a property of a computer object.

I hope you find this post helpful.
