Active Directory in SQL Server 2000. We've executed
sp_addlinkedserver and have created a view of active directory users.
However, when querying the view, no data is returned. Are we maybe
not connecting correctly? We are not receiving any error messages.
Any help would be appreciated.
Here is how we created our view:
CREATE VIEW AD_USERS AS
SELECT * FROM OpenQuery(
ADSI,'<LDAP://DC=domain,DC=com>;(& (objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=user
))
;sn,
name, adspath,title;subtree')
(except domain is replaced with our domain name)
Thanx in advance for any help!!Try querying the same OU etc. from a command line tool to make sure that
the query is returning data.
The command line tool is a Windows tools called ldifde.
Example:
ldifde -d "CN=Users,DC=<domain>" -l servicePrincipalName -F
<NewoutputUsers>.txt This syntax creates a file named NewoutputUsers.txt

What do we need to change in our OpenQuery statement to
get results with SQL Server?

Directory:
CREATE VIEW AD_USERS AS
SELECT *
FROM OPENQUERY( ADSI,
'SELECT *
FROM ''LDAP://CN=users,DC=<domain>,DC=com''')
When I query the AD_USERS view using query analyzer on
a client workstation running Enterprise Manager, there
are errors produced. When I query the same view using
query analyzer on the SQL Server server, no errors are
produced. However, even though I am selecting * from the
view, the only field to come back is adsPath. When I try
to specify another field name in the query that creates
the view, I receive the following error:
Could not get the data of the row from the OLE DB
provider 'ADSDSOObject'. Could not convert the data value
due to reasons other than sign mismatch or overflow.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'ADSDSOObject'
IRowset::GetData returned 0x80040e21: Data status
returned from the provider: [COLUMN_NAME=cn
STATUS=DBSTATUS_E_CANTCONVERTVALUE]].
Is there something that needs to be changed in the query?
Help, please.
