I have the following code to validate the existence of a user in AD.

DirectoryEntry.Exists(LDAP://cn=aUser,cn=Users,dc=abc,dc=myOrg,dc=org);

The code runs successfully on a fresh install of Windows Server 2003 in a
native mode domain of Windows 2003 domain. But it fails on Windows 2000
Server in the same domain or a Windows Server 2003 upgraded from Windows
2000 Server in the same domain. The error message is:

The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted

Any help is appreciated.
