I have been trying to get active directory to work on my install of 4.8 and I just keep hitting road blocks.  I have been able to fix many of my errors using the forums and such but now i'm stuck.  I've tried so many of the fixes  but am still coming back with this error:

Error: is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.ADSI.Utilities.AddADSIPath(String Path, Path ADSIPath) at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.ADSI.Utilities.GetRootEntry(Path ADSIPath) at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.ADSI.ADSIProvider.GetNetworkStatus() at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.Settings.UpdateSettings() --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Two things. You'll need the 01.00.03 version at minimum for 4.8 to fix a bug that showed up when DNN 4.8 was released. Also it looks like you'll need to use impersonation in your web.config. This is covered in the documentation.

I have version 1.00.3 and have tried the impersonation in web.config.  Like I said I've tried all the fixes that I can find and nothing seemed to work for me.

The error usually the result of the provider not being able to contact the AD and get information back. I would suggest looking at Softerra's LDAP browser (http://www.ldapbrowser.com/download.htm) and verifying that you can connect to the AD from the server.
