SYMPTOMS
After installing the Security Rollup Package (SRP), some Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) code may no longer work if the Active Directory Client Extensions for Windows NT 4.0 are not installed. You may receive error messages such as:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046' Permission denied: 'GetObject'

CAUSE
The Dnsapi.dll file was not included with the ADSI add-on for Windows NT 4.0. This has been corrected with the ADSI client that is included with the Active Directory Client Extensions for Windows NT 4.0.
