Error using Active Directory Searcher

03-01-2008

I was looking at the following piece of code:

http://blogs.technet.com/bahramr/arc...directory.aspx

but when stepping through it errors at $users = $searcher.FindAll()

with following error:
Exception calling "Findall" with "0" arguments(s): "Unknown error
(0x80005000)"

Can anyone help?

My guess is that your $searcher object is empty, so you may need to
reverify your LDAP query.

have a look at this

Check the ldap string you are putting in is correct. I would expect an
empty result set to actually work but just not give you any data back
