I've posted a beta of the 01.00.02 release of the provider here. This release has a number of fixes and a few enhancements (ACD-3084, ACD-4641, ACD-5563, ACD-6416, ACD-6451, ACD-6452, ACD-6493, ACD-6901). ACD-6901 is a major fix for DNN 4.8.0 as the current provider will cause the site to crash. Version 2 fixes a javascript problem that was also related to ACD-6901.

ACThe files are beta and haven't passed through the DotNetNuke Release Process so do not use them on a production site until you have thoroughly tested them in a test environment.

Please note that the provider package installer will not update the .dll if it is the same version (01.00.02) as what's already installed so you either have to manually copy the .dll to the bin\Providers directory or uninstall the current provider.

1. I'll look into this when I'm at work tomorrow if I get a chance otherwise it'll be Monday. (or somepoint over the weekend if I can slip away from the family).

2. That's one of the reason's I'm going to be doing a rewrite of the code. For you it's not pulling in phone numbers but is pulling in email addresses. For me it's the opposite at home and at work it pulls everything in. From everything I've read it's a problem with the way the provider is querying the AD and I was just lucky it worked orignially at home as I get the same results at home with any of the versions of the provider even pre-DNN 4.6.0. (or I added an optional patch on my server at home that didn't get put on the server at work).

I could just dig through the code and adjust where necessary but my reasons for a rewrite are two-fold. First, the majority of the code was written for .NET 1.1 and there were changes when .NET 2.0 came out (and more for .NET 3.0) I believe the next version of DNN (codename Cambrian) is going to be .NET 3.0 based and I want to take advantage of those changes. Secondly, I didn't write the code.  I have nothing against Tam's coding abilities as he did an excellent job with the provider but I, personally, hate working with code I didn't write myself. When someone asks me why a function does something on code I didn't write I find myself having to step through it to see exactly what it's doing. When I've written every line I rarely have to do that unless it's been a long time since I looked at it.

I've noticed the bog down on initial signin but once it's up I haven't seen a problem. I didn't think anything of it as I see the same thing on the commercial portal that's used for the whole college I work at and thought that was normal.

I think it may have to do with the searching for nested groups that a number of people logged as a wanted enhancement. Do me a favor and log this in Gemini (http://support.dotnetnuke.com). I may have to make it optional in the next release.
