Re: Distribution lists

I have had that error before and it drives me nuts.

To start, that white paper, if I am not mistaken, was probably written by
Steve Smith and was about MOSS, right?

MOSS is different when it does DMS. It's got shared service providers to
help with that sort of thing. WSS doesn't have any of those.

Noqw, when you say you made the app pool owner the owner of the OU, what
exactly did you do?

Did you make the account that was the domain user account identity the owner
of the OU? Or did you delegate control?

Also I have found that making that account the local admin does bupkiss for
me.

There are two accounts at work here. If you enable request approval (which
I DO NOT suggest, it's what is causing me intermittent problems), you'll see
that the *content database account* is the one that creates the request, not
the central admin app pool. That is the account that I give local admin
rights on the sharepoint server.

So, what permissions/delgations did you give the central admin app pool on
the OU, and did you make the content database access account for the web app
a local admin? And, someone who posted about this earlier also had to
completely reboot the server to get it to work.

Hello;
I have recently configured mail settings for my WSS 3.0 site.
I followed the white papers, and the incoming mail settings work
perfectly.
The next step was to enable the creation of DLs from within the Sharepoint
site.
I have made the Sharepoint Central admin app pool owner of the OU I
created for Sharepoint; I have added the owner to local admins on the
Sharepoint server.

I still get this error when I attempt to create a new group:
The Directory Management Service reported the following error: Access
denied.

Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Candee
