ADSI searches against multiple LDAP servers that have different schemas may not succeed

Article ID: 842437

Article Last Modified on 10/26/2006

APPLIES TO

Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Edition
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server

SYMPTOMS

When Active Directory Services Interface (ADSI) performs searches against multiple Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) servers that have different schemas, the searches may not succeed.

CAUSE

This problem may occur when one or more of the LDAP servers are a third-party server. Microsoft Windows 2000 does not maintain separate schema caches for different instances of a remote LDAP server. Therefore, the schema cache file is overwritten by the schema information from the last LDAP server.
