ERROR_DS_ALIAS_DEREF_PROBLEM
ERROR_DS_ALIAS_DEREF_PROBLEM (0x00002034) is an Active Directory Domain Services LDAP result. The LDAP server could not dereference an alias as requested by the client.
Record the alias object, target DN, and dereference mode used by the client. A valid alias entry can still fail when its target is missing, inaccessible, malformed, or creates another problematic alias chain.
What to check
- Check whether the target alias and its referenced object still exist.
- Verify the alias dereferencing mode set by the client for search or compare operations.
- Inspect for alias chains or referrals that prevent the server from reaching the final object.
