It s a permission problem   When you run the console app  that app runs with your credentials  e g  as  you    The WCF service runs where  In IIS  Most likely  it runs under a separate account  which is not permissioned to query Active Directory   You can either try to get the WCF impersonation thingie working  so that your own credentials get passed on  or you can specify a username password on creating your DirectoryEntry   DirectoryEntry directoryEntry        new DirectoryEntry  LDAP   someserver contoso com DC contoso DC com                           userName  password       OK  so it might not be the credentials after all  that s usually the case in over 80  of the cases I see    What about changing your code a little bit   DirectorySearcher directorySearcher   new DirectorySearcher directoryEntry   directorySearcher Filter   string Format    amp  objectClass user  objectCategory user   sAMAccountName  0      username    directorySearcher PropertiesToLoad Add  msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress     var result   directorySearcher FindOne     if result    null       if result Properties  msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress      null             var resultValue   result Properties  msRTCSIP-PrimaryUserAddress   0            My idea is  why not tell the DirectorySearcher right off the bat what attribute you re interested in  Then you don t need to do another extra step to get the full DirectoryEntry from the search result  should be faster   and since you told the directory searcher to find that property  it s certainly going to be loaded in the search result - so unless it s null  no value set   then you should be able to retrieve it easily   Marc
