Vista - Binding to DL

I am binding to a Universal DL that is preceeded by a slash ("/") and
receiving the error: -2147463168.

If I change the group to a group without a slash, I can bind without error.

Here is a copy of my bind statement.

DIST_GROUP = "CN=/RE RAG Group
Name,OU=My-OU,DC=My-Domain,DC=OurForest,DC=net"

Set objGroup = GetObject _
("LDAP://" & DIST_GROUP)

Is anyone familiar with a dislike on the part of vbScript with the slash we
preceed certain DLs using?

Thanks.

with the backslash escape character. For example:

DIST_GROUP = "CN=\/RE RAG Group
Name,OU=My-OU,DC=My-Domain,DC=OurForest,DC=net"

See this link for details:

Depending on your code, you may need to use the Replace function. For
example:

DIST_GROUP = Replace(DIST_GROUP, "/", "\/")
