Exchange server

[Code Monkey]

This may or may not be the correct group, so please forgive me if I've
posted incorrectly.

I'm developing a web based company intranet, which will have full
personalisation, Google suggest/spell type features etc, etc.

I'd like to be able to have a login page on the website, which will
authenticate the username and password against an active directory
(exchange 2000) which is located on another server in the same company
domain and subnet.

I've looked across the web for the last 3 hours or so, and there
doesn't appear to be any 'easy' ways of performing this type of
authentication. Am I looking at the wrong articles?
Is this possible in ASP.Net 2? I mean, authentication using XML /
database type providers is simple.

Can anyone help? Maybe provide code and/or links to sites that can
explain this to me?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

If both server in your company is under the same Active Directory forest I
think it is easy to do this.

Hope it helps.
