    I would like to determine the wrong ATTRIBUTE NAME from the exception object (I would like to log the error...)

    try {
$Searcher = New-Object -TypeName System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher
...
$result = $Searcher.FindOne().GetDirectoryEntry()
$result.putex( 2, 'Title' , 'New title' )
$result.putex( 1, 'Deeeeeeeescription' , $null ) # I misspelled it... to get an error...

$result.setinfo()
} catch {
$err = $_
}
# I can get the error message...
$err.Exception.InnerException     # Error: The specified directory service attribute or value does not exist.

# Hot to find out which attribute? (in this case I should find: 'Deeeeeeeescription' )

    My recollection is that the error is not raised until the SetInfo method is invoked. I don't believe there is a way to determine which attribute name causes the problem, except to invoke SetInfo separately for each attribute. For example, similar to:

    Try {$result.putex( 2, 'Title' , 'New title' )
    $result.setinfo()}
Catch {"Error in title"}

Try {$result.putex( 1, 'Deeeeeeeescription' , $null )
    $result.setinfo()}
Catch {"Error in Deeeeeeeescription"}
