Generic ADSI Error Codes

These types of error codes can be returned by any of the ADSI system providers to represent ADSI-specific error messages. They have the facility code 5 with severity bit set either TRUE or FALSE. When the severity bit is set to TRUE, this results in error values of the form 0x80005xxx and error messages of the form E_ADS_*. When the severity bit is set to FALSE, this results in error values of the form 0x00005xxx and the error messages are of the S_ADS_* form.

The following table lists generic ADSI error codes defined in Adserr.h.
