I have had AD setup in a DNN 3.0.1 for a while and woking well.  DNN authenticates against AD and users are automatically registered.  Now I'm trying to setup a new instance of DNN 3.2.2 and having some issues I have never seen before.

If I try to use forms authentication with AD it errors when the site first loads stating that the WindowsSignin file should not have annonymous access.  If I set this in  so that Domain users have access then it prompts me for domain credentials with the windows box before entering the site.  I can then use forms to logon...

If I try to use Windows authentication then it prompts me for my domain credentials with the windows box before I enter the site but it there is no effect, still logged out of the site, then if I try to logon using the host or admin accounts it just returns to the home page with out logging in.

I have read all the documentation both old at Tam's site and new at the DNN projects forum for AD.
Double checked my settings, permissions, etc.  I have tried enabling impersonation in the web.config file for both senarios, with a domain account for IIS annoymous user.
I'm running out of ideas here and need some help please.
thanks

Sounds like you're running into the issue of mixed-mode like I did.  To summarize it, if you enable true AD authentication, ALL users visiting your website will be prompted for an AD login.  You will need to enable a pseudo-mixed-mode configuration to get what you want.  Not the prettiest solution, but it will work until true mixed-mode is available in this module.

Check these threads and see if they answer your questions.

Thanks Dan.  The one post is the one I used as instuction for setting up my 2 scenarios.  hmm..  let me retrace my steps, start fresh and see if I get the same results.   Interesting though that the behavior seen on the new install is completely different from the old version which has worked flawlessly for intranet users.
