objectGuid clipped with ldap

[theS70RM]

Hi,

I have a php script to retrieve data about a user from the active directory using ldap. Here's a cut down version:

	$domainName = "domain.com";  
	$serverName = "server";
	$baseDomainName = "DC=domain,DC=com";

	$connection = ldap_connect($serverName);

	ldap_set_option($connection, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
	ldap_set_option($connection, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, 0);

	
	
	$user = "User";
	$pass = "Password1";
	
	$_bind = @ldap_bind($connection, $user."@".$domainName, $pass);
	
	$filter = "samaccountname=firstname.surname";
	$fields = array("objectguid", "dn");
	
	$ldapSearch = ldap_search($connection, $baseDomainName, $filter, $fields);
	$ldapResults = ldap_get_entries($connection, $ldapSearch);
	
	echo "<pre>";
	print_r($ldapResults);
	echo "</pre>";

I want to use the "objectguid " for other things and on one server (just running windows xp) it runs fine and returns everything I need. But the exact same code run on a different server doesnt always return the full objectguid, it crops it to anywhere around 16-18 characters. It should be 32. most the time its fine, just on the odd user account, seems like the same accounts every time.

Could this be because the server is running a different OS (ie Windows Server 2003). Or could there be another reason (php/apache settings?) why the objectGUID is being clipped.


Thanks for any help
