_AD_Open Fails When Script is Compiled

[robdogg1955 0]

I kept having problems with my Active Directory scripts. I finally discovered that they work fine before being compiled but after compiling they fail. I have narrowed it down to simply testing _AD_Open. For instance, any script that includes "$iResult = _AD_Open()" works until I compile the script. The compiled script fails with @Error = 4. Please note that I only log onto the computer with my Domain account. What am I missing here? Also, I do not use SciTE, I use Notepad++ if that matters...

Copy the exe to another location and try again. I once had problems with "secure locations" in Windows. You can only start programs from directories defined as secure.

I think you are on to something. I just held shift key and right clicked the exe so I could choose run as a different user. I then entered my username and password and it worked fine with one caveat, I had to copy the exe to the desktop. If I tried to run it from the mapped network drive it told me that the drive did not exist. I see this all the time at my location and I finally found that I have to turn on "enablelinkedconnections" in the registry (change registry setting from 0 to 1). This must be the problem. As a side note, I have been working very hard on some scripts that use your AD.au3 UDF. I want to tell you how great it is to know that you support it. You are truly a fantastic person and I thank you!

Thanks! Glad you like the UDF and the support you get from the forum
