I've got a problem with the events module showing the wrong date.  Perhaps a wrong time zone with users.  However when I go to the user module, all the users in AD (domainname/username) come up like so:

Error: User Accounts 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.UI.WebControls.TextColumnTemplate.GetValue(DataGridItem container) at DotNetNuke.U

Non-AD acounts come up just fine.   I could previously bring up the AD accounts but it stopped working.

Any ideas?

Thanks

This seems to come up in a number of threads, so here's the solution.
My user list started crashing when someone opened and automatically created an account when logged in as "Administrator" which created an account in DNN without a Last Name. I added all the Display names in, which weren't created and finally created a phony last name for Administrator and in a few minutes time, for refreshing the database I guess, all worked well!

FYI I have had this happen when DNN uses the information from AD and AD does not have all of the required fields.  First Name, Last Name are the most common.  The user account is created automatically but then the user properties and admin controls will fail untill the DB is updated with the required fields.

I beleive this may be caused by a bug I reported. A code fix that works for me is included in the bug report. I beleive the fix is generally applicable.

Hi guys. You can also see this referenced here:

DotNetNuke Modules User Error

Or on this benefactor forum:

If you want a quick fix without recompiling you can just modify the users.ascx file.

Code (within users.ascx under admin\users)

<dnn:textcolumn datafield="UserName" headertext="Username"/>
<dnn:textcolumn datafield="FirstName" headertext="FirstName"/>
<dnn:textcolumn datafield="LastName" headertext="LastName"/>
<dnn:textcolumn datafield="DisplayName" headertext="DisplayName"/>

SO you would remove the fields you don't use or are null and causing the error.

So it would look like this instead (assuming you also wanted to remove First/Last names etc...):

<dnn:textcolumn datafield="UserName" headertext="Username"/>

 That works until a fix it out.

Thanks,

Chad
