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

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



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?

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...
