Hello,

I'm trying to traverse the Active Directory structure, and the error that I'm getting is:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted

Line 54: ShowEntry(ds.FindOne().GetDirectoryEntry())

The code is:

Dim ds As New DirectorySearcher
ds.SearchRoot = New DirectoryEntry("")
ds.Filter = "(|(&(objectCategory=user)(name=bmains)))"

ds.PropertyNamesOnly = True
ds.PropertiesToLoad.Add("name")
ds.CacheResults = True
ds.ReferralChasing = ReferralChasingOption.None
ds.Sort = New SortOption("name", SortDirection.Ascending)

'Was doing this, but this wasn't working either
'Dim srcColl As SearchResultCollection = ds.FindAll()
'For Each src As SearchResult In srcColl
' ShowEntry(src.GetDirectoryEntry())
'Next

'Erroring line; ShowEntry is a private method, but it's not even
'being called bacause the error occurs at ds.FindOne()
ShowEntry(ds.FindOne().GetDirectoryEntry())

'srcColl.Dispose()
ds.Dispose()

FYI I did import the System.DirectoryServices namespace. Now, this was working before, on another day. Could this be to a change on the network, or a network problem?

Thanks,

Brian
