My apologies if this isn't the proper forum. Nothing seems to pertain exactly to what I have a problem with so I've gone to the lowest common denominator. I've asked this question in the AD forum and was advised that I should check in MSDN when no viable responses were forthcoming. Please redirect me if necessary.
Here's my quandry. I've written a program in C# that does some operations in active directory. For myself and a handful of people I've given the program to it works fine. For a few others it throws an exception when the form loads. On loading, the program first sets up a directory search to gather information regarding the user's information in AD. I consistently get "The network path was not found" when the exception is thrown.
By degrees I've either eliminated solutions that have proven wrong and add more details to try to find where things are going wrong. The current incarnation of the program has the DirectorySearcher defined with a static LDAP path to the server and a superuser account and password. The static path is to eliminate any possible DNS issues.
Because the users who are having the problem are located at another campus I can't have them come to my office for a debug session. I don't know whether the problem relates to network issues, permission issues or simply karma.
I'd appreciate any advice you can provide. This program is to be distributed to a larger number of users but I need to resolve this issue before publications.
