I am running translate name on a number of workstations with success, but on two machines 1 xp and 1 2k, I get the following error: COM exception error "Init" ((null) - (null)) [-2147352567/80020009].

The "Init" method is failing.
Code:
;PARAMETERS $InitType (Required) ; - Integer value ; 1 = ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_DOMAIN ; Initializes a NameTranslate object by setting the domain that the object will bind to. ; ; 2 = ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_SERVER ; Initializes a NameTranslate object by setting the server that the object will bind to. ; ; 3 = ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_GC ; Initializes a NameTranslate object by locating the global catalog that the object will bind to. ;
You are attempting to bind to a domain using the value of @Ldomain. Have you validated that the macro is populated on these two computer? You should log the the value of @Ldomain to insure that you have a valid value. Also, these two computers may be suffering from some form of name resolution failure and can not resolve the domain name. These computers have to be part of the forest where @Ldomain resides.
Have you tried to use a different binding parameter? If not try each value and check the result on these computers.
Make a small test script of just the line TranslateName() line and the UDF for testing on your problem computers.

I have done all you suggested. I included output for all parameters I am using in the script. Everything checks out fine. All @ variables are showing. This script is running on about 5000 machines fine. It's only 2 so far that exhibit these symptoms.

you did not provide any usable information in your last post...
Did you check the macro values on the 2 computer that failed? Did you run the test script on the 2 computers that failed? In your test script did you use each of the different bind values? What were the results from those 2 failing computers for each of the bind values?
Without specific information about the failues we can not offer any assistance.
