RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP query question

Yep.   But I would truly recommend renaming the objects. I would also kill any names with spaces in them and commas in them, those are also a pain to deal with.     joe From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dean Wells Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 3:03 PM To: Send - AD mailing list Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP query question Initial thought - string substitution, escape it with (ironically) a backslash "\" ?? -- Dean Wells MSEtechnology * Email: dwells@msetechnology.com http://msetechnology.com   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Passo, Larry Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 2:05 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] LDAP query question I have developed a number of applications that do various queries on AD. However, I have run into a problem with doing an LDAP query in groups that have been named with the “/” character in their name. Since the group was named with a “/”, the distinguished name for the object also has the “/” character. When my app tries to connect to the object using the following, an error results:   Create Object("LDAP://" & distinguishedname)   The LDAP query is assuming that I’m trying to do a query of the form LDAP://server/distinguishedname. The WINNT provider has the same issue.   Any suggestions? (Besides renaming the groups?)
