Error 0x80005000 and DirectoryServices

Question

I\'m trying to run a simple LDAP query using directory services in .Net.

    DirectoryEntry directoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry(\"LDAP://someserver.contoso.c         


        

Answer 1

I had to change my code from this:

 DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry(path, ldapUser, ldapPassword);
 DirectorySearcher searcher = new DirectorySearcher();
 searcher.SearchRoot = entry;
 searcher.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree;

To this:

DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry(path, ldapUser, ldapPassword);
DirectorySearcher searcher = new DirectorySearcher();
searcher.SearchScope = SearchScope.OneLevel;
SearchResult searchResult = searcher.FindOne();
