Referral

[Meldric]

Hopefully someone knows the answer to this one.

I am running a LDAP query on a Exchange 2000 server as below:

set oUserObj = GetObject("LDAP://CN=RogerE,CN=Recipients,OU=SomeCompany,O=FullTitle ofSomeCompany,DC=Exchange")

Sorry for the cryptic content...my boss insists.

Anyway I get a referral back from the query.

The exact error message is:

A referral was returned from the server

Code:  8007202B
Source:  (null)

I have looked on Microsoft's site and found reference to referrals. Basically the server is saying that it doesn't have the information, but it knows who does. The problem is I do not know which server has the information and do not know how to get access to the "referral" from the error message.

Anyone have any ideas on how to go about this?

What is the goal? An address list? Dan

I need detailed information such as when the user last checked email, who last logged in to a box. Information I cannot seem to find in the AD Global catalog.

You can turn up auditing on the server. This is in the security policy. All auditing is disabled by default to keep the logs clean. Dan

What I don't understand is this information is available in System Manager, but not in the Global Catalog? Why would I need to enable auditing if the information is already out there somewhere?

This is stored in the store not AD. Dan

Any way to access the store without turning on auditing?

Thank you Dan for being so patient with me and answering all my questions.

Look under mailbox resources in ESM and see if that has what you need. Dan
