Troubleshooting Code 80005003 - An unknown ADSI computer object was requested

The biggest clue is in the first five numbers: 80005 means that this is an ADSI error.

This error is also referred to as E_ADS_INVALID_COMPUTER_OBJECT

The Cause of Code Error 80005003

Your VBScript contains an incorrect LDAP reference to a computer.  This is most likely a typing mistake, maybe an extra letter.  Check each computer reference in your script.

The Solutions

Check the spelling of your LDAP objects.  The line number is a particularly useful guide to your path problem.

Another solution would be to to introduce error correcting code using E_ADS_INVALID_COMPUTER_OBJECTfor example:

Const E_ADS_INVALID_COMPUTER_OBJECT= &h80005003
