Copy this code into a .vbs file and edit it to use your domain's name and see if it works. If it doesn't you've got a setup problem with your LDAP server. 'CODE SEG START 'edit the variables below to reflect your domain,username and password MyUser = "domainname\username" MyPassword = "password" 'same here just with your server and domainname objectPath = "LDAP://SERVERNAME/DC=DOMAINNAME"; 'the 2 lines below can stay the same set adsi = getObject("LDAP:") set domain = adsi.OpenDSObject(objectPath, MyUser, MyPassword,&H1) 'if you want to connect to a specific user just uncomment and edit the code below 'set user = GetObject("LDAP://CN=USERNAME, OU=GROUPNAME,DC=DOMAINNAME") 'CODE SEG END I don't know if you're a developer, but if you can configure LDAP I'm sure you can edit this test code ;-). btw. Why do you want Outlook to connect to LDAP ? For an addressbook or something ?
