Search generating exception [Active Directory Recycle Bin] [DirectoryEntry]

[RikeGC]

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

Hello everyone.

I'm trying to retrieve information about deleted objects in Active Directory. Typically, these objects are stored in the Active Directory recycle bin. I can perform searches using the DirectorySearcher class, but when I attempt to query the DirectoryEntry class using the same path from DirectorySearcher, I encounter exceptions for all fields.

String myADSPath = "LDAP:///CN=\0ADEL:,CN=Deleted Objects,DC=adomain,DC=br";

DirectoryEntry myDirectoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry(myADSPath, username, password);

string teste = myDirectoryEntry.Parent.Path;

I can run the same query without any issues when it involves an active object. However, I'm encountering problems specifically with deleted objects. I would like to know if there are any alternative methods to investigate this issue. It's possible that there are permissions I might not have.

I tried to retrieve information about deleted objects in Active Directory using the DirectorySearcher class. My expectation was to successfully query the deleted objects stored in the Active Directory recycle bin, which would help me develop a restoration plan for these objects. However, when I attempted to use the same path from DirectorySearcher to query the DirectoryEntry class, I encountered exceptions for all fields.
