I am trying to query various fields from a subnet object in AD.
The distinguishedName for the object is "CN=10.1.84.0/24,CN=Subnets,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=Company,DC=com" however, when I try to attach to it via a LDAP or ADO query, i get "Active Directory: An invalid directory pathname was passed"

Anyone have any idea as to how to query the various fields of this object directly? I *can* search for all objects in that container that have "10.1.84*" in their name field,( WHERE name='10.1.84*') but for speed purposes, I would prefer to attach directly to the proper object.

EDIT:

I solved this one on my own. The solution is to put a \ character in front of the /24. IE:
Instead of binding to the object like this:
GetObject("LDAP://CN=10.1.84.0/24,CN=Subnets,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=Company,DC=com")
You have to do it like this:
GetObject(LDAP://CN=10.1.84.0\/24,CN=Subnets,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=Company,DC=com)
