Unable to get ADSI info from localhost site

Hi,

I am running this method from my Visual Studio 2010 application to retreive AD user names without any issues (it is returning the ADSI user's full name) :

        public static string GetFullName(string strLogin)
        {
            string str = "";
            string strDomain;
            string strName;

            // Parse the string to check if domain name is present.
            int idx = strLogin.IndexOf('\\');
            if (idx == -1)
            {
                idx = strLogin.IndexOf('@');
            }

            if (idx != -1)
            {
                strDomain = strLogin.Substring(0, idx);
                strName = strLogin.Substring(idx + 1);
            }
            else
            {
                strDomain = Environment.MachineName;
                strName = strLogin;
            }

            DirectoryEntry obDirEntry = null;
            try
            {
                obDirEntry = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + strDomain + "/" + strName);
                System.DirectoryServices.PropertyCollection coll = obDirEntry.Properties;
                object obVal = coll["FullName"].Value;
                str = obVal.ToString();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                str = ex.Message;
            }
            return str;
        }

I have setup IIS on the same pc from which I am running Visual Studio so I am able to run my application from http://localhost.

The application runs fine except that I am not able to read from ADSI even if the IIS is sitting on the same pc.

The error is (in french) : Le chemin réseau n'a pas été trouvé.

Which is probably something like this in english : The network path was not found.

I am probably missing a setting but I've spent too much time now to try to get it to work... Can anyone help me resolving this?

Thanks!!

Re: Unable to get ADSI info from localhost site

for sure is the line

jepaulin
obDirEntry = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + strDomain + "/" + strName);

Please talk with your sysadmin if the path is correct
