After tinkering around, I am now back to a point where I can do searches on users in my domain - however the target domain still remains elusive. @error reports '0' and @serror reports 'the command completed successfully' as before. I am using the following line to attempt access to my remote server :
Code:

$sFrom = "LDAP://"+GetObject("LDAP://$useDC/rootDSE").Get("defaultNamingContext")



The $useDC variable is set based on your computername, it corresponds to 3 possible server DNs. The format of these DNs are : DC=someserver,DC=net etc.

With $useDC equalling the server I am CURRENTLY sat at, it has no trouble finding my users, if it equals another DC, it has trouble. Are there any special things I need to do about accessing a remote AD forest?
