Well, this is the problem... I don�t really know.
This module is a part of a bigger application, and the error occurs on
one of the customers networks. I assume there exists several forests
since it�s a big company (world-wide). Unfortunately, I can�t run any
test with e.g. LDP since they do not allow any test on their "live"
environment. I was hoping that someone might have any idea what could
cause a problem like this.
Code snippet:
dim de as new directoryEntry("LDAP://"; & m_sRootDomain)
dim dsDirSearcher as new DirectorySearcher(de)
dim src as SearchResultCollection
dsDirSearcher.Filter = m_AddressBook.Filter
dsDirSearcher.SizeLimit = Options.MaxHits
dsDirSearcher.PropertiesToLoad = m_arrProperties
dsDirSearcher.ReferralChasing = ReferralChasingOption.All
dsDirSearcher.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree
dsDirSearcher.CacheResults = True
src = dsDirSearcher.FindAll() <---- boom, this is where it all goes to h***
Regarding Joe�s post about GC.
Which attributes are stored in the GC? I need to retrieve information
like phone numbers, name, address, mail etc.
This are the attributes I�m interested in:
givenName,sn,title,mail,company,department,info,whenChanged,physicalDeliveryOfficeName,whenCreated,userPrincipalName,targetaddress,Street,l,postalCode,c,st,telephoneNumber,facsimileTelephoneNumber,otherFacsimileTelephoneNumber,homePhone,otherHomePhone,mobile,otherMobile,otherTelephone,distinguishedname
