STATUS_DS_NO_ATTRIBUTE_OR_VALUE
The attribute or value is absent on the entry
This is a directory data result, not a transport failure. The object may exist, but the requested attribute is not present, or a modify/delete operation named a value that the entry does not currently hold.
In LDAP terms, distinguish the attribute type from a specific attribute value. An attribute can be absent, present with other values, not included in the Global Catalog partial attribute set, or hidden from the caller by access control.
What to inspect
- Inspect the exact DN, attribute name and value in the LDAP or ADSI request.
- Check whether the query was sent to a GC, where not every attribute is replicated.
- Compare read permissions before concluding that the value was never set.
