Troubleshooting Code 800A0CC1 – Item cannot be found in the collection

Difficult error code to solve. You may need lateral thinking to cure 800A0CC1

Introduction to Code 800A0CC1

Error code, 800A0CC1 occurs when you execute a VBScript.Code 800A0CC1 - Item cannot be found in the collection

The Symptoms You Get

The script does not execute as you had hoped.  Instead. Windows Scripting host generates a message box like this picture:

The Cause of Code 800A0CC1

Your VBScript contains an incorrect argument.   Note: The clue Source: ADODB.Recordset.

The Solution

The Windows Scripting Host gives us three useful clues, firstly, look on Line: 22, do count any remark or empty lines.  Secondly, the Char: number 1, is less useful as the error could be anywhere on that line.  Thirdly Expected ‘Item not found….’ is pointing us to the script problem.  This an obscure error, the problem is that the script is trying to display OU, but OU is not a valid property of the computer object.

Example of error 800A0CC1 Script

I admit that this is a specialist script in the sense that it has a hard-coded name of the domain.

Check the  & OU line.

Corrected Version

With & "OU: " & objRecordSet.Fields("ou").Value removed.
