Conneting to a different Domain using _AD_open()

[MBu]

Hello all :-)

I am new in this forum and try to find a solution for an AD issue :-)

I try to connect to an other domain where I am also administrator.

We have two domains. A newer active one. For me it is the primary domain.

The second one is our old domain. We have a trust between these domains.

Everything is working fine since some years.

_AD_Open() works fine in my primary domain. Now I must do some tasks

in the other domain. I try to open it with ...

_AD_Open("administrator","password","DC=domainname,DC=de","bj-dc2000.domainname.de","cn=configuration,DC=domainname,dc=de")

I get an @error 8, @extended -2147352567

All what I am doing at the moment is done with the examples comming with the AD UDF.

I would be very fine to get some help. This is the last point to get my project ready.

Thanks

:-) Markus

You could try to run the _AD_Open.au3 example script (GUI) with your data.

If you are on Windows Vista or later you will get extended error information.

Thank you for the hint. I have tried it with Windows 7. It works :-)

But not with Windows XP ... :-(

Unfortunatly I can't use Windows 7 in production. Has anyone an idea why it doesn't work with Windows XP

and what I must do to get it working?

The Autoit Version 3.3.6.1 is the same on both systems.

Maybe it's not just the Windows version that is the issue. Have you checked the firewall on the XP machine? Maybe connectivity isn't working correctly. Can you ping the DC you are trying to access on the XP box?

OK I found it!

Windows 7 works fine with the NETBIOS name "user".

Xp needs "domain\user".

Blame on me.

Cheers
