Rich, as ever, thanks for your help with what must seem a silly problem.

*

I sent the Email simply to ensure there is a record of this potential problem

in case someone else stumbles upon it :-)

*

We can drop it for now - if I find the time, I'll create a new virtual Active-Directory machine and re-test specifically

with the recommended log level. If I can re-create the problem, I'll log a BUG of course.

*

ldapsearch with an '@' worked fine at the time.

*

*-D "Administrateur" -w p@ssw0rd -h sh...

*

Note: Administrateur - *I*ought to have told you the Windows 2003 Server (Active Directory) is using a French locale

(worth noting - might be important):

*

Windows Server 2003 R2

Version 5.2 R2 (numéro 3790.srv03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447: Service Pack

*

The current password (without '@' - yeah, that's my theory also) works fine - it has

a capital letter and two '9's.

*

Thanks again for your help.
