>>>Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://OU=management,dc=hhccas,dc=com")
>>>Set objUser = objOU.Create("User", "cn=SmithJohn")

>>>When I run the script, however, I get the following error:
>>>"A referral was returned from the server"

>>>To be clear, the server that I am running the code on is located in another city. I am using VPN to connect to the network and then using Remote Desktop to connect to the server (inside the network), then copying the script to that server and running it from that server.

>>>Have you encountered the error before? Is it something to do with this line?:

>>>Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://OU=management,dc=hhccas,dc=com")

>>>Thanks!
