Active Directory Authentication

Hi ya, we are in the process of switching over to Active
Directory from the old NT. :zzz: Finally!!
Anycase, Im battling with one error when I try to
authenticate using AD. "Error obtaining group names. The
specified domain either does not exist or could not be
contacted" Im not the Sys Admin but I do have all the
Admin rights. Im also not a Technical guru, only the
developer. The areas Im unsure of is what to set exactly
on IIS and my LDAP Path. Can you give me any tips/
Guidance?
Thnx

You might want to have a look at my two ADSI browsers - one is even
available in C# source code.

Delphi ADSI Browser (no source - but supports WinNT, NDS providers)
http://adsi.mvps.org/adsi/Delphi/adsibrowser.html

BeaverTail - my open source C# ADSI browser
http://adsi.mvps.org/adsi/CSharp/beavertail.html

They will graphically show you your AD objects in their hierarchy, and
show you properties and stuff - including the AD (LDAP) path to their
location.
