ERROR_DS_NO_ATTRIBUTE_OR_VALUE

ERROR_DS_NO_ATTRIBUTE_OR_VALUE (0x0000200A) is an Active Directory Domain Services LDAP result. The LDAP operation referenced an attribute or attribute value that does not exist on the target object.

Read the target object and distinguish a missing attribute from a missing value within a multivalued attribute. Make delete or replace logic state-aware so an already-absent value can be handled intentionally when idempotency is expected.

What to check

  • Verify the distinguished name and retrieve the object attributes before attempting a modify or delete operation.
  • Check whether the attribute was removed, renamed, or never present on this object class.
  • For multivalued attributes, compare the exact stored value and its syntax before requesting removal.
