Hi Mike,

I seem to be getting an error after I install the active directory module. The error appears when I go to Admin > Authentication. This is the error message:

Error: is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Access is denied. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80070005): Access is denied. at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.get_IsContainer() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntries.ChildEnumerator..ctor(DirectoryEntry container) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntries.GetEnumerator() at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.Settings.CheckPipelineMode() at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.Settings.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

My setup this time is I'm using IIS7. So I don't know if the user (network service) is the same as in IIS6. I set DNN on IIS 6 last week with no issues. This time I followed the setup instructions according to IIS6. Is there something different with IIS7?

Hi Mike,

Thanx for the help. It worked. I changed the application pool from .net to classic .net and set up impersonation.

One thing that worries me is that with the 1.4 version when I enter the auto ip string as eg: 196.0.0.1 - 196.0.0.254 then I getg an error message stating that this is not a valid IP address. In version 1.3 it worked fine though. Is there a bug or am I setting it up incorrectly? This happens regardless of the IIS version.

I added some additional error checking to verify that the IP address was valid. In all my testing it worked fine but I'll setup a debug using the range you mention and see if I can break it.

Your permissions look fine. When you say you're using a different account than before you mean different from the first account that you used for impersonation? You might try restarting IIS and/or the application pool.
