Trouble using Container/OU...

[Guest]

Here is the problem. I have created a Container/OU object in Object Manager and all works fine until I double-click a Contact, this is what the OU contains. I get the following error:

Microsoft Active Directory - Exchange Extension
The operation failed.
ID no: 80004005
Microsoft Active Directory - Exchange Extension

I press OK and the proporities come up without the Exchange 2003 tabs.

If I drill-down to the OU manually I don't get this error and I get all E2K3 tabs.

Anybody eles seen this?

OSS

Forgot to mention the following:

Hyena 6.0C
Windows XP SP1
ESM 2K3 Tools
W2K3 Active Directory

Re: Trouble using Container/OU...

If you can, please post the path that you used (or selected in the picker dialog) for the directory path to the container object in Object Manager. I can't duplicate this on my E3K configuration, but I think that Microsoft's interfaces (which is what the Contact Properties dialog uses) are not very tolerant of some LDAP paths. For example, a Netbios style path may not be completely supported, like:

LDAP://NETBIOS_domain_name/ou=myou/dc=mydomain/dc=com

Instead try:

LDAP://DNS_domain_name.com/ou=myou/dc=mydomian/dc=com

Hyena's path selection dialog uses the path syntax from your main domain container and, in general, a DNS path should always be used.

You can also try:

LDAP://DNS_PATH_TO_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER...ydomain/dc=com

Let us know what you find.

Re: Trouble using Container/OU...

Sure, here is the LDAP path used (from the picker):

LDAP://corp.domainnameremoved.com/CN=Repair Sales Reps,CN=Users,DC=corp,DC=domainnameremoved,DC=com

I changed it to:

LDAP://h1/CN=Repair Sales Reps,CN=Users,DC=corp,DC=domainnameremoved,DC=com

and all seem's happy.

Thanks for the tip/hint.
