Copy this code into a .vbs file and edit it to use your domain's name and
see if it works. If it doesn't you've got a setup problem with your LDAP
server.
'CODE SEG START
'edit the variables below to reflect your domain,username and password
MyUser = "domainname\username"
MyPassword = "password"
'same here just with your server and domainname
objectPath = "LDAP://SERVERNAME/DC=DOMAINNAME"
'the 2 lines below can stay the same
set adsi = getObject("LDAP:")
set domain = adsi.OpenDSObject(objectPath, MyUser, MyPassword,&H1)
'if you want to connect to a specific user just uncomment and edit the code
below
'set user = GetObject("LDAP://CN=USERNAME, OU=GROUPNAME,DC=DOMAINNAME")
'CODE SEG END
I don't know if you're a developer, but if you can configure LDAP I'm sure
you can edit this test code ;-).
btw. Why do you want Outlook to connect to LDAP ? For an addressbook or
something ?
