Howdy Richard,
First thanks for your active directory wizardry!
I downloaded and ran the code sample off of the web site. It works, but
only
seems to work when I am logged into the domain with administrator level
permissions. When I log in as a regular user, and run the Script, I get an
error message "The Server is not operational", code 8007203A.
My problem is that I don't want to give admin permissions to all the users
running my application. I would be grateful for any ideas you (or anyone)
can
send my way.
Thanks much!!
