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

Hi

looks like the ADAM service is AWOL, is the service running?
Anything interesting in the ADAM instance event log in event viewer
from boot or if you try and restart the service?

If you open the ADAM Tools Command Prompt and run

dsdbutil "list instances" quit

what do you get back?

Lee,

First, thanks for your reply.

No, I do not have any interesting networking components installed.
I'm a simple man with simple needs; in this instance, to build a C# app
that
uses ADAM.

I forgot to mention that i did change that registry setting (LSA) from 1
to
0.

If i try to connect with ldp.exe and uncheck the connectionless checkbox,
it
says:
**********************************
ld = ldap_open("<machine name>", 50000);
Established connection to <machine name>.
Retrieving base DSA information...
**********************************
where <machine name> is the actual name of my machine...

if I leave "connectionless" checked, I get the following:
**********************************
ld = cldap_open("<machine name>", 50000);
Established connection to <machine name>.
Retrieving base DSA information...
Server error: <empty>
Error<82>: ldap_parse_result failed: Local Error
Server error: <empty>
Getting 0 entries:
-----------
Server error: <empty>
**********************************

If i then try to bind as the logged in user, i get the following:
(pasted exactly from ldp)
**********************************
0 = ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_ENCRYPT, 0)
res = ldap_bind_s(ld, NULL, &NtAuthIdentity, NEGOTIATE (1158)); // v.3
{NtAuthIdentity: User='NULL'; Pwd= <unavailable>; domain = 'NULL'.}
Error <81>: ldap_bind_s() failed: Server Down.
Server error: <empty>
**********************************

I will look up adamuinstall as you've suggested in the meantime.

Any ideas? I am

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...
