I had a similar problem, and it turned out to be an authentication problem. Try to use the constructor of DirectoryEntry where you can specify the credentials. To use Windows Integrated authentication, set the authentication type to "Secure", and the user name and password to null, like this: DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry(path, null, null, AuthenticationTypes.Secure) Regards Csaba You can read messages from the Advanced DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from Advanced DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
