<< Resolved :.NET Runtime version 1.1.4322.2300- Setup Error: Failed to load resources from resource file | Home | System.DirectoryServices.PropertyCollection.Item -what returns if propertyName is invalid >>

COMException (0x80004005): Unspecified error] in DirectorySearcher.FindAll() means LDAP string is invalid.

I've got an error COMException (0x80004005) when called DirectorySearcher.FindAll() and had no idea, why it happened.

Thanks to DirectorySearcher.FindAll() causes Unspecified Error in C# but not in VB.NET discussion I was pointed, that

the error is shown if DirectorySearcher.SearchRoot  path is not valid, e.g. it is “DomainName” instead of “LDAP://DomainName“.

I beleive MS could provide more clear error description.

Another thanks from me!
I had same issue: Not putting "LDAP://server/" at the front of my path.

I agree the errors suck. Every time .net needs to drop out to a com component things get nasty and it feels like 1990s microsoft all over again.
