PRB: Search with IDirectorySearch or ADO Fails (201969)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Active Directory Service Interfaces 2.0

This article was previously published under Q201969

SYMPTOMS

When attempting to do a directory search using either ADO or the IDirectorySearch interface, the following error may result:
0x80004002: No such interface supported (E_NOINTERFACE)

CAUSE

Only the LDAP and NDS providers support searching.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Some of the providers, for example "WinNT:", simulate a directory interface. However, because the underlying system is not really a directory, the search capability would probably also need to be simulated.
