This error is caused if you include an ampersand directly in your query string. If you build queries in ADSIEdit they might look like:
(&(objectCategory=user)(sAMAccountName=Jane))
The “&” character is not allowed in XML. Instead use “&”
For example:
<Directives WhereToBind="LDAP://DC2008R2/CN=Users,DC=test,DC=com" SearchScope="onelevel" Filter="(&(objectCategory=user)(sAMAccountName=Jane))" PropertiesToReturn="distinguishedName"/>
After installing ActiveADAPTER you will see a new transport type option when configuring a send port or receive location. With BizTalk send ports, you can create, delete, rename, move, and modify Active Directory objects. With BizTalk receive locations, you can draw XML messages into BizTalk containing Active Directory query results.
On your Programs menu you will also have an ActiveADAPTER program group containing shortcuts to documentation, sample orchestrations and schemas to get you developing your solutions quickly.
Yes. ActiveADAPTER is available as a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service. So with or without BizTalk Server, you can query and update Active Directory with ActiveADAPTER
ActiveADAPTER WCF exposes essentially the same functionality as our Active Directory Send and Receive Adapters.
ActiveADAPTER WCF services can be consumed by BizTalk Server, but BizTalk Server is not required.

Yes. The adapter will return any exceptions back to your application AFTER any retries you have configured have been done.
Within your orchestration you can use Scope shapes to catch exceptions. In your exception handlers you can retrieve the error description to determine which way to branch.
Sample orchestrations that illustrate exception handing are included in the ActiveADAPTER Samples folder.
