Hello folks,

here's a simple .NET test case that mimics what the SQL Server installer is
doing when it tries to bind to the local machine via ADSI ("WinNT://...").

--- snip ---
using System;
using System.DirectoryServices;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        try
        {
            // Attempt to bind to the local computer via ADSI WinNT provider
            string path = "WinNT://" + Environment.MachineName + ",computer";
            Console.WriteLine("Binding to: " + path);

using (DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry(path))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("NativeObject: " + entry.NativeObject);
            }

Console.WriteLine("Bind succeeded.");
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Bind failed: " + ex.Message);
            Console.WriteLine("Exception type: " + ex.GetType());
            Console.WriteLine("HResult: 0x" + ex.HResult.ToString("X"));
        }
    }
}
--- snip ---

Compile (assuming .NET Framework 4.5 install as per prerequisite):

--- snip ---
$ wine "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\csc.exe" test.cs
--- snip ---

Run:

--- snip ---
$ wine ./test.exe

Binding to: WinNT://DARKSTAR,computer
