I'm trying to use the DirectorySearch er.FindOne() method to get the display
name of the current user. The code runs on a server behind a web service.
Everything works fine when I run it on my local machine but the FindOne()
method fails when I deploy it to the server. I'm at a loss and any help
would be appreciated.
This is the code that works on my local machine but not on the server.
DirectorySearch er search = new DirectorySearch er("LDAP://RootDSE");
search.Filter = String.Format(" (SAMAccountName =" + m_UserName + ")");
search.Properti esToLoad.Add("d isplayName");
SearchResult result = search.FindOne( ); // This fails on the server
m_DisplayName = result.Properti es["displaynam e"][0] == null ? "" :
result.Properti es["displaynam e"][0].ToString();

LDAP://RootDSE means that you are binding to the root of the current user's
login domain. That means that this can only be used when your application
runs in a domain account on the server.

No, specifying this will try to bind to the "login domain" of the current
user, when the current user is not logged-in to a domain, you have to
specify the "domain name" you want to bind to.
LDAP://domain/dc=...;
or the name of the "domain controller":

You need to bind using the "Domain name" or "DC sever" name, and you need to
specify explicit credentials and the authentication type. Also, you need to
be sure that the "domain name" and/or the "dc server name" can be resolved
through a DNS lookup, if you are not sure it's the case, you can try using
the IP address of the DC.
("LDAP://domainName/cn=...,dc=...,d c=...", "domainuser ", "hispwd",
AuthenticationT ypes.ServerBind );
or...
("LDAP://DCName/cn=...,dc=...,d c=...", "domainuser ", "hispwd",
AuthenticationT ypes.ServerBind );
Note that it doesn't matter whether you run in a single domain or not, this
is something YOU know, but not the ADSI client code.

If I understand you correctly, I need to use a different account to
communicate with the DC instead of the current user. If not, I'm not sure
how to resolve this because I don't know the password for the user.
This is the error I get.
