connect-qadservice issues

Hi All,
I've browsed every google result I could find on connect-qadservice and still drawing a blank. 
Just a little script to test.
$pw = read-host "Enter password" -AsSecureString connect-QADService -service DC:389 -ConnectionAccount domain\myaccount -ConnectionPassword $pw
Get-QADGroupMember -Identity "domain\domain admins" -type user
disconnect-qadservice
and the result is.
[PS] C:\Users\>C:\gp\Untitled1.ps1
Enter password: ********* DefaultNamingContext Type
-------------------- ----
DC=domain,DC=com ActiveDirectory
Get-QADGroupMember : The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8
007054B)
At C:\gp\Untitled1.ps1:6 char:19
+ Get-QADGroupMember <<<< -Identity "domain\domain admins" -type user
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-QADGroupMember], COMException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException,Quest.ActiveRoles.ArsPowerShellSnapIn.Powers
hell.Cmdlets.GetGroupMemberCmdlet
As you can see it is connecting to the dc successfully then returning domain doesn't exist.
note there is no trust, I am running this from my laptop to one of my developement domains.
alternatively, if i run the cmd targeting the domain i'm currently sitting on it works. from the articles I read this shouldn't happen. They say all requests subsequent to connect-qadservice and before disconnect should target the connected dc. stumped.
appreciate any advice. Dan

Hi,
i tested your Syntax, no Prob.
The Error message says, that the Domain couldn't be contacted.
Did you try the Get-QADGroupMember Syntax run seperatly?
What Message do you get, without the Connect-QADService?
Greetings
BEN

$pw = read-host "Enter password" -AsSecureString
$conn = connect-QADService -service DC:389 -ConnectionAccount domain\myaccount -ConnectionPassword $pw
Get-QADGroupMember -Identity "domain\domain admins" -type user -Connection $conn
disconnect-qadservice

thanks, this works but I'm still baffled as to why the intructions say all subsequent commands target the domain you are connected to until you disconnect. If this were true it wouldn't be necessary to specify the connection along with the command

Are you running a .ps1 script to connect, and then trying to run commands? I ran into the same problem running scripts off a box not part of the domain. Ensure that you dot source your script. If you don't, the variables inside the script are destroyed once the script finishes execution. You need to type a period, a space, and then your script path.
Listing connect.ps1:
###
$cred = Get-Credential
Connect-QADService 'mydc.mydomain.org' -Credential $cred
###
[PS] C:\>.\connect.ps1
cmdlet Get-Credential at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
Credential
DefaultNamingContext Type
-------------------- ----
DC=mydomain,DC=org ActiveDirectory
[PS] C:\>Get-QADUser jsmith
Get-QADUser : The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007054B
)
At line:1 char:12
+ Get-QADUser <<<< jsmith
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-QADUser], COMException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException,Quest.ActiveRoles.ArsPowerShellSnapIn.Powers
hell.Cmdlets.GetUserCmdlet
[PS] C:\> . .\connect.ps1
cmdlet Get-Credential at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
Credential
DefaultNamingContext Type
-------------------- ----
DC=mydomain,DC=org ActiveDirectory
[PS] H:\ps\filecluster>Get-QADUser jsmith
Name Type DN
---- ---- --
Smith, John user <stripped>
