Does GetObject actually try to log you in to server?

Does the below code actually try to log you into the domain or only verify that it exists?

Set dso = GetObject("LDAP:")
set ob1 = dspenDSObject("LDAP://domain",
strUserName,strPassword,
ADS_SECURE_AUTHENTICATION + ADS_SERVER_BIND)

I was testing this code and I got locked out of the domain due to to many attempts at logging in.

If it does try to log you in, what can I use to only search to see if a username is valid in that domain?

Thanks

It tries to authenticate your credentials (not log you in). The account lockout code is just interested in the number of failed authentications, not logins
