COM exception error "Init" ((null) - (null)) [1/1]

2002/01/31 08:04:55 - LookupADname: (NameTranslate) Init error:1 / COM exception error "Init" ((null) - (null)) [1/1]

This error is generated using the following code which has worked flawlessly on my W2K SP2 Laptop.

code:

---

$NameTranslate = CREATEOBJECT ("NameTranslate")
if @error <> 0
	  WriteLog ("LookupADname: (NameTranslate) CreateObject error:" + @error + " / " + @serror)
endif
$NameTranslate.Init ($InitType, $BindName)
; $InitType = 3 and $BindName = "" to connect to the GC
if @error <> 0
	  WriteLog ("LookupADname: (NameTranslate) Init error:" + @error + " / " + @serror)
endif 

---

The error is occurring on a W2K SP2 Japanese OS with the User Lanaguage set to 0409 English.

Does anyone have any insight into what could be going wrong here? One time the user logs on the error occurs. The next time is may work. I personally have never had the problem on my computer.

If the workstation have any problem to connect to the domain, the result you get seems to be what it should be.

Also, have you other W2K SP2 Japanese workstation to test this ?

I will inquire about having other Japanese computers tested. The computer is a member of the W2K domain in Japan and they do have a GC there as well. The same computer that fails then works. This would lead me to believe that there is some communication or timing issure between the computer and the domain DC.

Thanks again for the info.

That is exactly what we are in the process of doing. Condensing all domains to one Resource domain for Everyone.

The less the domain the easier the Administration!

Also, check the japanese servers roles, maybe one is missing.

Lonkero,
i'm writing a mail for your to give you my postal address for the 5.000.000.000€

But this brings up a new problem that needs to be resolved (Non-KiXtart). That is why was a W2K client in a W2K resource domain that is properly configured as part of a site to which the client is a part go to the UK for a GC bind request.
