I have windows 2003 domain named as tele.com and the domain controller holding all the roles are prod.tele.com. While creating an adsi script for creating a user ,i tried the following.To try the scripts ,i created an OU named test using the graphical interface.I wanted to create an User named test1 in that OU. set objOu=GetObject("LDAP://ou=test,dc=prod,dc=tele,dc=com") set objUser=objOu.Create("User","cn=test1") objUser.Put "sAMAccountName","test1" objUser.Setinfo when i ran the above script ,it gave me an error ,Object not found ,withthe usual error code. I moddified the script by changing the LDAP path, as... set objOu=GetObject("LDAP://ou=test,dc=tele,dc=com") and it worked... My query is ,why did not it took the ldap path dc=prod,dc=tele,dc=com.. I had the same problem while restoring an object from an OU. Any ideas

To manipulate the AD you don't need to connect to a specific server-the domain is good enough. If you really need to, though, then the syntax is: LDAP://servername/CN=Username,CN=users,DC=domain,DC=com
