    Hi all,

    I am developing asp.net application using windows authentication from active
    directory on a local area network. the domain controller is not on the same
    machine of the IIS. when trying to get the display name of the logged in user
    I am getting an error if I try remotly even if user is logged in but it works
    fine localy on the web server.

    I am new in using directoryservice namespace and donnt find any document to
    disccus how to emplement an application like that using active directory
    hosted on another server.

    this is my code

    DirectorySearcher ds = new DirectorySearcher();
    ds.SearchRoot = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://CN=users,DC=TAC,DC=local");
    string filter = "";
    filter += FormFilter("user", userName);
    filter = "(|" + filter + ")";
    ds.Filter = filter;
    ds.PropertiesToLoad.Add("*");
    System.DirectoryServices.SearchResult res = ds.FindOne();

    in the last line I get "An Operations error occurred"

    both of web server and domain controller are windows 2003 and the domain
    name is TAC.LOCAL

    any body can help me ?

    Regards,
