An octet string that contains a binary value and a distinguished name (DN).

Entry Value
Name Object(DN-Binary)
Syntax ID 2.5.5.7
OM ID 127
MAPI Type TSTRING
ADS Type ADSTYPE_DN_WITH_BINARY

Remarks

A value with this syntax has the following format:

B:<char count>:<binary value>:<object DN>

where "<char count>" is the number of hexadecimal digits in "<binary value>", "<binary value>" is the hexadecimal representation of the binary value, and "<object DN>" is a distinguished name. Active Directory automatically updates the DN if the object that it refers to is moved or renamed. For more information and a code example that uses this syntax, see Enabling Rename-safe Binding with the otherWellKnownObjects Property.
