Subject: SERVER_SEARCH_FLAG_PHANTOM_ROOT and DNS NCs

Hi,

We've noticed that ldap seaches against Windows DNS servers using the SERVER_SEARCH_FLAG_PHANTOM_ROOT flag to the LDAP_SERVER_SEARCH_OPTIONS_OID control don't return entries inside the DNS NCs, eg. DC=DomainDnsZones

Can you please explain how this works? Our understanding of SERVER_SEARCH_FLAG_PHANTOM_ROOT was that the search should cross into all NCs on the server.

Cheers, Tridge
