Get active directory users from SQL Query Analyser

Get active directory users from SQL Query Analyser
--
I am trying to do a select in SQL Query Analyser to get the list of users in
active directory.
I use the following code:
sp_addlinkedserver 'ADSI', 'Active Directory Service Interfaces',
'ADSDSOObject', 'adsdatasource'
SELECT [Name],SN[Last Name]
FROM OPENQUERY( ADSI,
'SELECT Name,SN FROM ''LDAP://servername.domainname.com/CN=Users,
DC=domainname,DC=com''
WHERE objectCategory = ''Person'' AND objectClass = ''user'' order by
name')
But appears the following message error:
Server: Msg 7321, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
An error occurred while preparing a query for execution against OLE DB
provider 'ADSDSOObject'.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'ADSDSOObject' ICommandPrepare::Prepare
returned 0x80040e14].
What could be?
Tks.Try moving the ORDER BY clause outside of OPENQUERY. There is also something
a little strange in the outside SELECT; maybe a typo?
SELECT [Name],SN -- Why was this here? :[Last Name]
FROM OPENQUERY( ADSI,
'SELECT Name,SN FROM ''LDAP://servername.domainname.com/CN=Users,
DC=domainname,DC=com''
WHERE objectCategory = ''Person'' AND objectClass = ''user''')
ORDER BY Name
