Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
You cache the passwords of the user accounts or the passwords of the computer accounts on a read-only domain controller (RODC).
You have a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Vista.
On this computer, you try to query the user and computer accounts by using the "Active Directory Users and Computers" Management Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in.
Note For more information about how to view accounts in the "Active Directory Users and Computers" MMC snap-in, visit the following Microsoft website:
General information about the administration of Password Replication Policy
In this scenario, the query result is missing some user accounts or computer accounts for the passwords that are cached on the RODC.
Note You can also use commands to retrieve the user and computer accounts. To list the user and computer accounts for the passwords that are cached on the RODC, run the following command:
repadmin /prp view <read-only domain controller> revealThe user and computer accounts that are listed in the MMC snap-in are fewer than in the results that you receive by using the repadmin command.
Cause
This issue occurs because a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) query filter handles some special characters in the accounts incorrectly. This LDAP query filter is used by the "Active Directory Users and Computers" MMC snap-in. Therefore, the "Active Directory Users and Computers" MMC snap-in returns an incorrect query result.
Note The special characters that the LDAP query filter may handle incorrectly include the following:
- Asterisk ("*")
- Opening parenthesis ("(")
- Closing parenthesis (")")
- Backslash ("\")
- Null character ("NUL")
