The error message "A referral was returned from the server."
means that the account, group, container or OU can not be found in the

Checklist:

ï¿½ Is the domain part OK?

ï¿½ Example: domain name = "D09.acme.com" -> "dc=com/
dc=acme/dc=D09"

ï¿½ Try to ping the domain name. Example: start the command prompt and
type "ping D09.acme.com"

ï¿½ Is the OU or container part OK?

ï¿½ Each ou should be preceded with "/ou=". Example: OU

ï¿½ Containers should be preceded with "/cn=".

cn=Users"

ï¿½ Try replacing variables with the actual full path to get a clearer

SET ADDomainPath=dc=com/dc=acme/dc=D2

SET ADOU=Students ...
