SYMPTOMS
When you try to use the Csvde.exe utility to export Active Directory data in a Microsoft Windows 2000-based environment, and the export operation does not succeed, you may not receive an error message. Additionally, the value of the ERRORLEVEL environment variable may be 0, indicating that the export operation completed successfully.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Csvde.exe utility does not exit with the correct error value when the Ldap_get_next_page_s function returns an error.
