I have the following code in a vb script that I run from a workstation which user is NOT logged into the domain:
' Constants required for name translate

Const ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_GC = 3

Const ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4 = 3

Const ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779 = 1



'Get the NETBIOS name of the domain

Set objSystemInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo") 

strDomain = objSystemInfo.DomainShortName



' Get the name of the computer

set objNetwork = createobject("Wscript.Network")

strComputer = objNetwork.ComputerName



' Call function to return the distinguished name (DN) of the computer

strComputerDN = getComputerDN(strComputer,strDomain)



wscript.echo strComputerDN





function getComputerDN(strComputer, strDomain)

	' Function to get the distinguished name of a computer

	' from the NETBIOS name of the computer (strcomputer)

	' and the NETBIOS name of the domain (strDomain) using

	' name translate



	Set objTrans = CreateObject("NameTranslate")

	' Initialize name translate using global catalog

	objTrans.Init ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_GC, "", "AdminName", "domainName", "AdminPassword"

	' Input computer name (NT Format)

	objTrans.Set ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4, strDomain & "\" & strComputer & "$" 'Fails here

	' Get Distinguished Name.

	getComputerDN = objTrans.Get(ADS_NAME_TYPE_1779)


end function 

 
The script fails in line marked with "Fails here". The error is: "Name Translation: Could not find the name or insufficient rights to see name."
What am I doing wrong here, please help?
