Remarks

Note  The WinNT, NDS, and NWCOMPAT system providers do not support any of the X500 format specifiers.

Note  Because VBScript cannot read information from a type library, VBScript applications do not understand the symbolic constants as defined above. You should use the numerical constants instead to set the appropriate flags in your VBScript applications. If you want to use the symbolic constants as a good programming practice, you should make explicit declarations of such constants, as done here, in your VBScript applications.
