Can't connect to linked AD server(ADSI)

  • Dear Friends,

    select name As Name, sAMAccountName As UserName, title As Title,

    physicalDeliveryOfficeName As Office, telephoneNumber As PhNumber,

    mobile As CellPhone, facsimileTelephoneNumber As FaxNumber, mail As Email,employeeid as emp_no from openquery

    (

    ADSI,'SELECT name, sAMAccountName, title, physicalDeliveryOfficeName, mobile, facsimileTelephoneNumber, telephonenumber, mail ,employeeid

    FROM ''LDAP://fp1-srvr.sidf.gov.sa''

    WHERE objectCategory = ''Person''AND objectClass = ''user''

    ')

    on sql server 2000 it was working but when migration to sql server2005

    I got the following error when trying to excute on query analyzer:

    Msg 7321, Level 16, State 2, Line 1

    An error occurred while preparing the query "SELECT name, sAMAccountName, title, physicalDeliveryOfficeName, mobile, facsimileTelephoneNumber, telephonenumber, mail ,employeeid

    FROM 'LDAP://fp1-srvr.sidf.gov.sa'

    WHERE objectCategory = 'Person'AND objectClass = 'user'

    " for execution against OLE DB provider "ADsDSOObject" for linked server "ADSI".

    Could you please help me in that

  • obviously you need to have setup the provider first and with various settings

    below script from SSMS on my DEV box - hope it helps you setup your environment

    - change the user+password security details first !

    use master

    go

    /****** Object: LinkedServer [ADSI] Script Date: 04/14/2008 12:09:52 ******/

    EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'ADSI', @srvproduct=N'Active Directory Services 2.5', @provider=N'ADSDSOObject', @datasrc=N'adsdatasource'

    /* For security reasons the linked server remote logins password is changed with ######## */

    EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname=N'ADSI',@useself=N'True',@locallogin=NULL,@rmtuser=NULL,@rmtpassword=NULL

    EXEC sp_serveroption @server=N'ADSI', @optname=N'use remote collation', @optvalue=N'true'

  • Thanks for your reply.

    But I already have the provider script and it's there as ADSI linked server still the problem there.

    script for creation:

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'ADSI', @srvproduct=N'Active Directory Services 2.5',

    @provider=N'ADsDSOObject', @datasrc=N'fp1-srvr.sidf.gov.sa'

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'ADSI', @optname=N'collation compatible', @optvalue=N'false'

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'ADSI', @optname=N'data access', @optvalue=N'true'

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'ADSI', @optname=N'dist', @optvalue=N'false'

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'ADSI', @optname=N'pub', @optvalue=N'false'

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'ADSI', @optname=N'rpc', @optvalue=N'false'

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'ADSI', @optname=N'rpc out', @optvalue=N'false'

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'ADSI', @optname=N'sub', @optvalue=N'false'

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'ADSI', @optname=N'connect timeout', @optvalue=N'0'

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'ADSI', @optname=N'collation name', @optvalue=null

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'ADSI', @optname=N'lazy schema validation', @optvalue=N'false'

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'ADSI', @optname=N'query timeout', @optvalue=N'0'

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'ADSI', @optname=N'use remote collation', @optvalue=N'true

    still getting same problem

  • If you have the SQL configs correct, then it is looking more like a security issue with the credentials you [or middleware] are presenting to AD. perhaps relates to what the SQLservice is running as [eg LocalSystem], although should be whatever you state in the security tab (properties on ADSI context menu).

    I suggest you try some simple Windows scripting host [which won't go through SQL] just to help diagnose the issue. Have a look at these URLs

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/bb742578.aspx

    http://www.kouti.com/

    and be sure to use some priv account [or get some empowered IT person to do it for you] to be sure no access barriers.

    You could also try ADSIEDIT (from your PC and/or the db-server) which is part of the Windows Support Tools

  • Dear Friends

    I finaly found the solution :

    The one that seems to trip up most users is

    that the service account used by the sql agent service has to be a member of

    the DatabaseMailUserRole in the MSDB database

    this the silte:

    Thanks for your help.
