I am getting an error “The Server not operational”

This error most commonly occurs when the server used in direct server binding cannot be contacted. It can be caused by:

  • An incorrect server name in WhereToBind (e.g LDAP://incorrect-server-name.test.com/OU=Test,DC=test,DC=com)
  • Insufficient permissions to connect to the server (try using different credentials for the host instance that handles ActiveADAPTER)

What version of the .NET framework does ActiveADAPTER require?

Can ActiveADAPTER help me retrieve information from Active Directory?

Yes. The Active Directory Receive Adapter can be used to create a Receive Location that queries Active Directory at regular intervals and submit the results to your BizTalk application. A message can be submitted to BizTalk at every polling interval, or only when a change occurs in the query results (this is the "On Change Only" option on the Active Directory Receive Adapter property configuration).

In addition, the Active Directory Send Adapter can be used with a Solicit-Response Send Port to perform an on-demand query. You just send your query parameters to the send port in a message that conforms to the supplied schema, and receive your results back in a new message.

Do you supply the schemas I will need?

Absolutely. A link to them is installed to the Programs menu in the ActiveADAPTER\Schemas folder.
