Hi Sascha,
I _was_ talking about NT4 computers, that's why I suggested using the
WinNT provider with ADSI. I don't have NT4 right here in front of me so
can't test it, but if you get stuck, let me know.
Your NT4 boxes should have an ADSI client, if they don't, try to put one
on. You'll soon find out when you try to instantiate the object whether
or not the client is installed.
You can also test the WinNT provider on any workstation that has theh
client NT4, Win2k, XP. This is a good place to test things before you
hit your domain controllers for real.
