Ahh, that Technet article's been around since Dec. 2006, now I see where you're coming from. It's actually more accurate than most (at least it suggests trying advanced security...).

I have found nothing online that really, seriously lays out exactly what to do to get DMS to work with WSS. I wrote about it recently in a book, but there are things (which I mentioned there as well) that still seem to be waiting for a service pack. I can get it to work, and work fine, with permissions for the central admin app pool and the content access database as a local admin, but request approval still is a problem...

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?
Nope; this was WSS oriented:
configuring incoming email settings:

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?
I delegated ownership; and when that didn't work, I went in advanced permissions and made sure to give that account full access to that object & all child objects.


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

Also I have found that making that account the local admin does bupkiss for me.
Definitely didn't help
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.
Ah, never thought of that. I will give it a shot.
Thank you so much!

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
