Re: Desparate in SF: ADAM on XP Laptop in Workgroup

While ADSI Edit is hung trying to connect, netstat -vb yields the following:

Hi

do you have any additional "interesting" network components installed
e.g. netware client or VPN client?

Search ADAM help file for "forceguest" and set the corresponding
regkey to 0 (regardless of remote or local access).

What happens if you try to connect with ldp.exe?

See also adamuninstall in ADAM help for forcible removal of an instance.

Hello,

First, I am a complete AD novice.
(I am a C# developer, so I'm not an IT novice...)
I am looking to develop an application using ADAM but I cannot get ADAM to
work on my IBM T43 Laptop running XP Pro SP2 in workgroup mode.

I've installed ADAM with no errors.
I can create instances with no errors (I've created instances with and
without partitions just fine)

However, when I attempt to connect to the instance using ADSI EDIT, the
machine just hangs.

* I am 100% I am connecting to the correct server/port combination (I even
took screen shots during the install just to check myself.)

* I have tried using the machine name and IP Address for the server name.
The service IS started. I even rebooted my machine just in case that old
catch all troubleshooting tip happened to work.

* The Windows firewall is OFF and I have no other firewall running. I
also
saw a service named "Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing(ICS)"
that
I have also stopped, you know...just in case.
I am it is something silly stupid as a buddy of mine who has a laptop with
XP/workgroup got it to run on his first try.

* I have SCRUTINIZED my system tray and closed/exit'ed out of any
applications that weren't necessary, again...just in case.

* When I attempt to remove an instance (any of them) using Add/Remove
Programs the machine hangs while it tries to connect to the instance.

* I have tried connecting as "The logged on user" as well as by using an
explicit user/password combination.

* My user is in the Administrators group, but just for kicks -since i was
having so much fun already- i logged on as the Administrator and still got
the same results.

* I have checked, re-checked, and then checked again the system
requirements
and sure that i should be in the zone: XP Pro with SP2, workgroup mode,
ADAM
w/ SP1.

* The only obvious difference between my buddy's machine and mine was that
he had .net framework 2.0 installed whereas i had 1.1; i've installed 2.0
with no joy.

Please, please, please help as I have wasted a week.5 scolding ADAM and he
is still being uncooperative. I am...

Desparate in San Fran...
