We are using the Active Directory Domain Services Directory Backup
Functions (NTDSBCLI.DLL::DsBackupOpenFile() on Windows 2003 Server and
are experiencing socket and HANDLE leaks. Our implementation is as
described in MSDN article, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa772150(VS.85).aspx.
Does anyone have information on this problem??

Hello,

I just started programming with System.DirectoryServices. Currently, I am
only interested in the WinNT provider. For the first task code samples found
in the internet were sufficient to get my work done. However, I would like to
know the location of the complete documentation of the WinNT provider, of all
its objects, their properties and so on. The documentation of the
System.DirectoryServices namespace is a general documentation only without
any details of the providers.

Searching for hours, I didn't find what I am looking for. Can anyone help
me? Thanks.

Regards,
Helmut

Hello I have some issue while I'm trying to populate a user group in
Forest A, with user belonging to a group in Forest B using a script.
I can read the "member" list of a group in an other Forest, i can get
all the info i need such CN, DN and so, but if I try to wite the info
to group i got nothing (not an error)
With the same script irf i red user from group A I can populate a
group B in the same Forest, but not cross-forest.
Any Idea???

Hi,

I'm using the code below from our web app which correctly works before. But
for some time now, it's been failing a few times a day. There's been no code
change which is why it's strange that this is happening now. Can anyone
advice me on this? It's hard to reproduce the problem since there is no real
pattern when this happens.

Here's the code:

using (DirectoryEntry dirEntry = new DirectoryEntry(, ,
, AuthenticationTypes.Secure))
{
using (DirectorySearcher dirSearcher = new DirectorySearcher(dirEntry))
{
dirSearcher.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree;
dirSearcher.Filter =
string.Format("(&(objectclass=user)(objectcategory=person)(samaccountname={0}))", );

//search for the user in the directory
searchResult = dirSearcher.FindOne(); <--- error here
}
}
