PRB: Search with IDirectorySearch or ADO Fails

• Microsoft Active Directory Service Interfaces, version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

When attempting to do a directory search using either ADO or the IDirectorySearch interface, the following error may result:

0x80004002: No such interface supported (E_NOINTERFACE)

CAUSE

Only the LDAP and NDS providers support searching.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Some of the providers, for example "WinNT:", simulate a directory interface. However, because the underlying system is not really a directory, the search capability would probably also need to be simulated.

Additional query words: 2.0 2.00
