Hi,
I?m not sure if i?m right int this group...
My problem:
I made a vb .net application that reads from AD via
System.Directoryservices.Directoryentry.
The appliocation enumerates group members.
It works fine on W2k - machines. It works on a WinNT 4 - server, too, but it
stops with a runtime error on any Windows 4.0 Workstation. The error is:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException 0x800500F.
at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind (Boolean Throw Fail)

On the WinNT 4-workstation, I installed the dotnetfx.exe.
Might be important, that after installing the framewirk, some files were
mnissing: activeds.dll, activeds.tlb, adsldpc.dll, mscoree.dll.
I manually copied these files into the sytem32 folder and registered them.

Has anyone an idea how the problem could be solved ?

mscoree.dll is part of the .NET runtime (dotnetfx.exe), so this shouldn't
have been missing after the install.
The other dll's are part of the Active DS client extentions for NT4, you
should NOT copy these from a W2K server, they are not usable on NT4.
Followin KB article describes you how to obtain and install the extentions:
