Re: VS2005 application in a computer where Active Directory is ins

Hi,

Because, after installing "Active Directory" various kind of problem is arising. I cannot change the whole network system. About 100 PC is running into the same LAN.

Installing Active Directory is a big change and needs a lot of planning and preparation. There's an Active Directory newsgroup to help.

"Configured" means, changed the solution (.sln) file's path & settings and IIS, directory etc. Actually I developed the site in "E:\project\DotNet\Web\Nilashi" path and copied that folder "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Nilashi" into client's machine.

Usually, a web application runs on a server, NOT on a clients machine, the client would simply browse to the web server.

You appear to be saying you're running an AD based LAN and that you have installed a web app to a client machine running IIS and this client is joined to your AD domain?

The usual LAN set up for 100 PCs would be like this

AD1 - Domain Controller (Authentication, Domain Accounts, repl)
AD2 - Domain Controller (Authentication, Domain Accounts, repl)
Exchange Server
Web Server
Database Server
Print Server

..NET apps would be set up on the web server, and clients would browse to them. In other words, you would not have IIS on any client machine...

If you had a need for IIS on a client machine (e.g. a dev station) then you could test it logged in locally to that machine, first with static pages, then with ASP, then with ASPX. e.g.

http://MachineName/Nilashi/index.htm
http://MachineName/Nilashi/index.asp
http://MachineName/Nilashi/index.aspx

Start with a one page site first.

IIS on a client machine is not usually affected by Active Directoty, but if other network problems exist, anything is possible.

Make sure you don't have a Firewall blocking access on that machine.
