I have an issue that just started a few days ago where when I search our LDAP for the field employeeNumber a number of my accounts will come back as not found even though they are in there, I can search by the uid and find the person and looking at the record the employeeNumber is exactly what I was searching for. I can however do a search for (employeeNumber=*000111222) and find the employee where a search for (employeeNumber=000111222) will not find anything. On other accounts the search returns the expected result.

I honestly think that advice is a little premature without more detail on what versions of software is being run, what database bits are being used, and whether or not the thing had an index added without the database being indexed....
