I recently upgraded to DNN 4.4.1 from 4.3.4 so that I could use the DNN fix that us available. I am trying to created a phone directory for my intranet users, and I am using Xmod and XMod remote Data tool. I have it all setup correclty and it is reading the database and reporting the data from the database correctly. The problem is that the user account profiles are not updating in the database. When a NEW user logs in, A user account is created, and the e-mail, phone number, and group memberships are pulled from AD and added to the user profile. However, If I chage something in AD The change is not made in DNN on the next log on. The only way that I have found to make the change in DNN is to direcly edit the database. I applied the DNN AD fix in the hopes that this would take care of the issue, and no go.

I am running DNN 4.4.1 on Windows 2003 with SQL 2000. I am using Windows authentication with impersination turned on. Is there something I am missing?

Okay I'm no further ahead than I was earlier.  All WindowsSignin calls is AuthenticationLogon which is the same procedure that it's always called and the one that Stuart and I have edited to call another procedure that does the synchronization every time. At this point it's next to impossible to debug because the app gets restarted everytime I launch it from Visual Studio so everything works. I'm going to investigate how to get events written to the log and put some in the code so that I can try to sort out what's getting skipped. One thing I did notice that I don't remember from previous versions is that if I log out of the site, close all browser windows and then go back into the site I'm not automatically logged in. I haven't tried waiting the 20 minutes or so until the process recycles yet. Has that always been the case or is it new?

Here's where I'm at. I've been looking at this off and on all day between helping students. I made my user an admin on the website and put a bunch of log viewer notifications throughout the code to try and track the code and noticed something that I didn't before (because I wasn't looking for it. ). If I launch the site fresh either directly through Visual Studio, altering the web.config, or after making sure the ASPNET process has timed out (killing the process in task manager) and go to the Log Viewer it shows that I've logged into the site. If I close it (and all IE windows) and then launch the site again it loads immediately (makes sense because the process is still running in the background) and then go to the log viewer it doesn't register that I've logged in and none of the notifications I've added show up. As I'm seeing it because WindowsSignin.aspx isn't even getting hit there's no way to force synchronization under full authentication as long as the ASPNET process hasn't recycled. I didn't hear of any problems before DNN 4.4.1 but I'm thinking they may have been there in the DNN 4 line all along (at least since DNN 4.4.0) and nobody noticed.

Could I get some of you who are having the problems with synchronization to verify what I'm seeing? Give your user admin rights on the site and then check the Admin->Log Viewer to see if it's registering your login everytime you do so. If you're seeing the same as I am then that does two things. One, it proves I'm not on crack and, two, gives us a starting point on fixing the problem.
