1026 error - the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted

Keywords: 	 1026 error - the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted

---

Question:

I have a Winbatch script using ADSI extender which fails only when running on a workstation logged in with local admin account. If I logon with domain account it works great, but I need it to run logged in as local admin. following is excerpt from script sAdsiPath = "LDAP://CN=Computers,DC=xxx,DC=yyy," DsSetCredent("user@UPN","pwd") sContainer = dsGetChildPath(sAdsiPath,"")

I get "1026 error - the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted"

I have verified the account used with DsSetCredent is valid and has access to AD. As I said this errors if I use local admin account.

Thanks in advance for any help !!

Answer:

I am not to sure about this one. I tried creating an ADSI user on our domain with my work station's local admin. account and it worked just fine (credentials were set to a privileged domain user). I am using WinXp Pro but I think it should work with Win2k Pro, as well.

The only thing that comes to mind is that the Windows network will not let you connect to a server with two different sets of credentials at the same time. For example, if you have a share open on the server as one user and run a script as another user, the script will fail.

If you find a solution let us know. I am sure you are not the first person to encounter this problem.

Resolution:

Found it. Actually the Winbatch article on ADSI Paths gave me a clue. It states "ADSI extender processes your serverless path calls by finding the domain associated with current security context". Of course running with local admin, It would not be able to find a domain and hence the 1026. So the answer is cannot use serverless adsi path. Modified code to set server in ADSIPATH

sAdsiPath = "LDAP://dcname/Dc=xxx,Dc=yyy"

and it worked like a champ !!
