Are you calling this DLL from an ASP or ASP.NET page? If so, you will need
to run the DLL as an account with correct permissions. Let's say it's your
account. You't can just set the anonymous user of the page to your
account -- that won't pass enough information to authenticate against the
ADSI objects.

Instead, throw the ActiveX DLL into a COM+ Server Application, and set the
identity of that application to your account. Then it should execute with
the correct permissions.
