    Hello, 

    Today I'm trying to new a user with ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider in the CreateUserWizard control, it throws me the exception:  System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The server is not operational.

    However, I can get users via the Membership.FindUsersByName(usernameToMatch, pageIndex, pageSize, out totalRecords) method, so it proves my LDAP connection string is right.  I can not just write info into my AD.

    And I'm sure the application of creating new users can work well last week, but it fails today ....

    So mysterious....  Can someone provide me some internal details about this senseless message?

    Thanks a lot.

     

        <connectionStrings>
        <add name="ADMembershipService" connectionString="LDAP://devdc01/OU=abcPortal,DC=abcdev,DC=com"/>
    </connectionStrings>
    <system.web>
        <membership defaultProvider="ADMembershipProvider">
            <providers>
                <add name="ADMembershipProvider" 
                type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" 
                connectionStringName="ADMembershipService"

                enableSearchMethods="true" minRequiredPasswordLength="3" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"/>
            </providers>
        </membership>

    Figure it out!!!  It's the problem about the username mapping mode of userPrincipalName or sAMAccountName.

    If you want to create a new user with the ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, explicitly specify the sAMAccountName mode(username only) in the provider setting. It take userPrincipalName mode(username@domain)

            <membership defaultProvider="ADMembershipProvider">
            <PROVIDERS>
                <ADD class=st name=""ADMembershipProvider" 
                type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" 
                connectionStringName="ADMembershipService" 
                connectionProtection="Secure" applicationName="/IBAPortal" 
                connectionUsername="ibadev\xfwang" connectionPassword="iba+1234" 
                enableSearchMethods="true" minRequiredPasswordLength="3" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"
                attributeMapUsername="sAMAccountName" 
               >

    Even though it works again, but it does not seem reasonable, I think.  ASP.NET team are supposed to do some more work.
    Why is it not supported in the userPrincipalName mode? You should tell the folk. Worse, you take the userPrincipalName mode by default .....
    If it's not available indeed, you also should make the error message more meaningful . 'The server is not operational' is alway fooling me.

    Thanks anyway.
