Question:

What is an error 212 while using the ADSI extensions?

Answer:

212 indicates that your provider would not allow you access to the object you have specified. However, the provider did not return a known error code (or an OS ADSI error code for that matter) to indicate why the object could not be accessed. Sans such information the extender returned a generic error.

It could be that you specified a non existent object or that you do not have permission to access the object with the credentials you are using. To avoid this error try using the dsIsObject function.
