Getting "A referral was returned from the server" msg

Post by bob@santafesystems.com »

When I create an .exe file from my form script and run it on my Win10 machine, it runs fine. But when I run that same executable as admin on the Win2019 server, I get a popup:
referralerr.png
referralerr.png (17.3 KiB) Viewed 3198 times
However, when I don't run As Admin, it comes up correctly. The problem is, this is doing some modification to Active Directory and needs to be run As Admin.

Any ideas would be helpful :)

A quick Google search indicates that your group policy only allows signed executable files to run elevated.
Disable that policy or use a certificate to sign your executable.
