System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.ApplicationPartition constructorconstructor for ApplicationPartition in System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory namespace. It works fine if I use a distinguished name like "DC=mycompany,DC=com" but anything other than 2 DC= causes the constructor to throw an exception: "The specified distinguished name has an invalid format". I have also tried using one of my custom class names in the constructor with 3 parameters, instead of defaulting to the default domainDNS, but still the same exception. If I create a new application partition when I create the ADAM instance using the wizard I can specify something like "CN=myapp" which is exactly what I want - I don't need the domain stuff in the distinguished name - except I want to create the partition programmatically. This is currently running on XP. Hi
posting your code to the adsi.general NG would probably be best. I suspect the problem is that the ApplicationPartition class is designed for AD Application Partitions (inherently domainDNS objects) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/ad/ad/application_directory_partitions.asp which are quite different from ADAM partitions.

Yes it sounds like an applciation partition is a special kind of DomainDNS. I guess that makes sense in an AD context, but not so much when using ADAM purely as a heirarchical database. Never mind, I guess we can live with it. Anyone on the ADSI group have comments to add?

(that almost no one uses), not ADAM, so this kind of makes sense. In a sense, all partitions in ADAM are "application partitions", but we don't refer to them with the same language. As such, I chaulk this up to pickiness over how things are named, but perhaps the ApplicationPartition class has some properties that only make sense for a real AD application partition and would not map to ADAM? I haven't looked that closely yet. Joe K.
