Thanks for the information – I wasn’t aware of the version option so that’s useful.
I’d still like to be able to use this in PowerShell v3, so if anyone has any information, that would be appreciated.

I get the following error when I run “$objLdapObject | Get-Member”: Get-Member : The following exception occurred while retrieving members: "Unknown error (0x8000500c)" At D:\Projects\PowerShell\ldap\ldapsearch.ps1 + $objLdapObject | Get-Member + ~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-Member], ExtendedTypeSystemException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CatchFromBaseGetMembers,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetMemberCommand If I am running this incorrectly, please let me know. I did confirm that I see a bunch of properties if I do this in PowerShell v2 (Server 2008r2). In case it helps, if I check the type using “$objLdapObject.gettype()”, I see the following in PowerShell v3: IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType -------- -------- ---- -------- True False DirectoryEntry System.ComponentModel.Component Do you have any other suggestions?

I have a PowerShell script that queries a non Microsoft LDAP server and outputs the results (it returns the various attributes for the user). This code worked perfectly fine in PowerShell v2 (on Windows 7 and Server 2008r2), but in PowerShell v3 (on Windows 8), I get an error message that I am not sure how to fix: format-default : Unknown error (0x8000500c) + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [format-default], COMException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.FormatDefaultCommand Here is the code I am running: $strLdapServer = "ldap.domain.com" # ldap server name changed to generic name $strLdapBaseDN = "some base DN" # base DN entered here $authLdap = [System.DirectoryServices.AuthenticationTypes]::Anonymous $strUsername = "username" $strLdapSearchPath = "LDAP://" + $strLdapServer + "/uid=" + $strUsername + "," + $strLdapBaseDN $objLdapObject = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry($strLdapSearchPath,$null,$null,$authLdap) $objLdapObject.Properties Although the error doesn’t state the line number, the error is occurring on the last line “$objLdapObject.Properties” (if I comment it out, it does not produce any error messages). If there is a better/easier way to query a non Microsoft LDAP server in PowerShell v3, please let me know. If there is any other information that I missed, please let me know.
