ERROR_DS_ALIAS_PROBLEM
ERROR_DS_ALIAS_PROBLEM (0x00002031) is an Active Directory Domain Services LDAP result. The LDAP request encountered a problem with an alias object or an alias target.
Inspect the alias entry and its target before changing unrelated directory objects. Determine whether the problem is the alias syntax, the referenced object, or client dereference behavior so the repair stays local to the failing path.
What to check
- Inspect the alias entry and the object it is intended to reference.
- Confirm that the client uses the required alias-dereferencing behavior for the operation.
- Check for missing, invalid, or cyclic alias targets before modifying the directory tree.
