Mon, 17 Oct 2016 16:08:10 GetLdapInfo: use cached logon info
Mon, 17 Oct 2016 16:08:10 GetLdapInfo: not a valid ldapinfo, return E_FAIL
Cause
Open CMD window, run ldapwhoami.exe (located at C:\Program Files (x86)\LANDesk\LDClient)
In the output, there are special characters in the OU name.
In my case, the special character was '/'
Note: There is no limitation for OU name in the domain controller, this is an unsupported character by Ivanti EPM.
Resolution
Change the OU name to not contain any special characters.
