The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Site Server version 3.0
  • Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0

SUMMARY

All ADSI error codes are returned as COM HRESULT values. They can be grouped into the following three types:

  • Generic COM error codes

  • Generic ADSI error codes

  • Win32 error codes for ADSI


    • MORE INFORMATION

    Generic COM Error Codes

    Generic COM error codes expresses the operation status as produced by all COM modules. The following table contains some examples of these error codes on any Win32 platform:

    Error Code Hex Value Description
    E_UNEXPECTED 0x8000FFFF Catastrophic failure
    E_NOTIMPL 0x80004001 Not implemented
    E_NOINTERFACE 0x80004002 Interface not supported
    E_POINTER 0x80004003 Invalid pointer
    E_ABORT 0x80004004 Operation aborted
    E_FAIL 0x80004005 Unspecified error

    Generic ADSI Error Codes

    This type of error code may be returned by any of the ADSI system providers to represent ADSI-specific error messages.

    Generic ADSI error codes are defined in adserr.h.
    Value Description Corrective Action
    0x80005000L E_ADS_BAD_PATHNAME An invalid ADSI pathname was passed. Verify that the object exists on the directory server and check for typos in the path.
    0x80005001L E_ADS_INVALID_DOMAIN_OBJECT An unknown ADSI domain object was requested. Verify the path of the domain object.
    0x80005002L E_ADS_INVALID_USER_OBJECT An unknown ADSI user object was requested. Verify the existence of the user object, check for typos in the path name and the user's access rights.
    0x80005003L E_ADS_INVALID_COMPUTER_OBJECT An unknown ADSI computer object was requested. Verify the existence of the computer object, check for typos in the path name and the computer's access rights.
    0x80005004L E_ADS_UNKNOWN_OBJECT An unknown ADSI object was requested. Verify the name of and the access rights to the object.
    0x80005005L E_ADS_PROPERTY_NOT_SET The specified ADSI property was not set.
    0x80005006L E_ADS_PROPERTY_NOT_SUPPORTED The specified ADSI property is not supported. Verify the correct property is being set.
    0x80005007L E_ADS_PROPERTY_INVALID The specified ADSI property is invalid. Verify the parameters passed to the method call.

    0x8000500BL E_ADS_PROPERTY_MODIFIED The specified ADSI object has been modified.
    0x8000500CL E_ADS_CANT_CONVERT_DATATYPE The data type cannot be converted to/from a native DS data type. Make sure that the correct data type is used and/or that there is sufficient schema information available to perform data type conversion.
    0x8000500DL E_ADS_PROPERTY_NOT_FOUND The property cannot be found in the cache. Make sure that GetInfo has been called (implicitly or explicitly). If the problem persists, the property has not been set on the server.

    Win32 error codes for ADSI

    Standard Win32 error codes are also used to return ADSI error messages. In particular, the ADSI LDAP provider maps all the LDAP error codes to Win32 error codes.
