Hopefully JoeK will swing by shortly to say his piece on the NET call. For the queries below, unless you want them scoped at a specific domain anyway, consider querying a GC since all of those attribs are in the GC.

Can you include the code snippet where this occurs? Have you tried using an alternate tool (LDP or Joe's ADFIND) to validate that you don't get the same results from those tools? ??Is this a single domain forest that you're testing in?

Any query throws the referral exception. Like "(& (mailnickname=*) (| (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=contact)) ))" which is from the "All Contacts" address list. or "(& (mailnickname=*) (| (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(!(homeMDB=*))(!(msExchHomeServer Name=*)))(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(|(homeMDB=*)(msExchHome ServerName=*)))(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=contact))(objectCategor y=group)(objectCategory=publicFolder)(objectCategory=msExchDynamicDistributi onList) ))" whis is from the Default Global Address list.
