PRB: Search with IDirectorySearch or ADO Fails
Article ID: 201969
Article Last Modified on 3/20/2004
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.
