Directory Services Unknown Error

I'm creating an application (VB 2005) that I want to use Directory
Services with. I've got 2 class functions - 1 checks for a group. the
other is supposed to retrieve the user's full name.

My code is as follows:

Dim entry As New DirectoryEntry( "LDAP://[domain]")
Dim search As DirectorySearch er = New DirectorySearch er(entry)
search.Filter = "SAMAccountName =" & _userName
** search.Properti esToLoad.Add("d isplayName")
Dim result As SearchResult = search.FindOne( )
....

This generates an Unknown Error (0x80005000) on search.FindOne( ). I
have another function that calls the same code as above but with
search.Properti esToLoad.Add("M emberOf") instead of displayName (line
above marked **). The group function works fine.

Why does the above error out when my other function runs fine? Is
there a problem with "displayNam e"?

Hi, I have just reinstalled Reporting Services on win 2003 server that was added to a domain and has been renamed. Two strange things happen: 1) In IE I am prompted for an ID and password with a basic security prompt. 2) After supplying the credentials I get some of the report manager web page but it has a 401 error instead of the folder and options to manage projects.

We recently moved a web site that validated user credentials in Active Directory from IIS 5.1 to IIS 6, and the validation code no longer works. The web.config file is set to Windows authentication because all we do is verify the user on the login form so we can redirect them to the appropriate page based on their group. The code to authenticate is: Public Function IsAuthenticated(ByVal domain As String, ByVal username As String, ByVal...
