Hello, I have dnn 4.08.01 install and working as expected. I need to implement AD for the site and forum security. I have successfully installed the AD module on my local machine with the same dnn build. I'm now duplicating that success on the production server.

I'm using AD 1.00.03 as the 1.00.01 does not work with AD 4.08.01. Ok, So I use host to install AD then go into admin/authentication to complete the task.  The data is the same for each build but I get the following 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 ---

The major difference between my local machine and the server is my machine is xp and the server is 2003, Additionally, my local machine is on the domain and the server is not on the domain and will eventually be place in our DMZ.

Any help would be great!

Thank you Mike! You are correct. As soon as I joined the server to the domain it worked. I will have to figure out how, with an agent or something find a way to authenticat from the dmz. Thanks again
