Answer Wiki:
Check your AD path. It should be in DN Syntax. i.e "LDAP://ServerFQDN/,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM"
Your DirectorySearcher can be cleaned up as well. The code below will list all groups in the AD path.
DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry();
de.Path = ADPath;
de.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.Secure;
DirectorySearcher ds = new DirectorySearcher();
ds.Filter = string.Format("(&(objectClass=group))");
SearchResultCollection result = ds.FindAll();foreach (SearchResult item in result)
{
console.writeline(item.Properties["samAccountName"].toString());
}
