report off Active Directory

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I want to report off our AD directory.

I used Crystal reports for that and created an OLE DB (ADO) connection and the provider was OLE DB Provider for Microsoft Directory Services.

This report is able to query and successfully pull the data from AD when I am using the Crystal Reports 2008 client.

When I put the same report in the BO Enterprise server environment it fails.

I have tried using an Universe in which the connection is based on OLE DB provider connecting to MS SQL Server 2008

I get the following error in Universe Designer

Universe Designer connection error: DBD: [Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server] : [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (ParseConnectParams()).]Invalid connection.

Any help is appreciated regarding how to make the Crystal report work in BOE or how to make the Universe Designer connection work in the designer.

Thanks

Hi Mohan

Did you ever get this to work?

I'd be interested in the solution.

Many Thanks
