    copied!<p>I'm setting up a new asp.net site on IIS8 (windows server 2012). I'm trying to take older code that works on windows server 2008, IIS6. Both are virtual servers.</p> <p>Windows authentication is enabled.</p> <p>Anonymous Authentication is disabled. (tried enabling per some post I read but no change)</p> <p>Getting the user by:</p> <pre><code>string user = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name; int separatorIndex = user.LastIndexOf(@"\"); if (separatorIndex != -1 &amp;&amp; separatorIndex &lt; user.Length - 1) { user = user.Substring(separatorIndex + 1); } DirectoryEntry rootEntry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://na.xxxxxx.biz"); DirectorySearcher directorySearcher = new DirectorySearcher(rootEntry); directorySearcher.Filter = string.Format("(&amp;(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=user) (sAMAccountName={0}))", user); directorySearcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("displayName"); var result = directorySearcher.FindOne(); </code></pre> <p>This works great on localhost, returns an error on the server:</p> <blockquote> <p>System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException (0x80072020): An operations error occurred. at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.get_AdsObject() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher.FindAll(Boolean findMoreThanOne) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher.FindOne() at EngApps.App_Code.UserFullName.LookUpDirectory() in e:\inetpub\wwwroot\App_Code\UserFullName.cs:line 45</p> </blockquote> <p>line 45 is the last line I posed above using 'FindOne()'</p> <p>If I hard code my user name and password everything works on the server:</p> <pre><code>rootEntry.Username = user; rootEntry.Password = "xxxxxx"; </code></pre> <p>But I don't need this in the older code base so I'm guessing there is a setting in IIS8. I played around with anonymous authentication a bit and read several post but haven't been able to figure it out yet.</p> <p>Thanks for your help.</p>
