Let's start with the basics. What is the name and operating system of your
Domain Server?

Hello Carl,

I am not sure what OS my domain server runs, although I think it is windows
server 2003 my domain server name is finance.

I do not log onto the domain server on my laptop to do the installation, I
log on to the local machine with the local admin user.

Thanks

Ok, is this something your IT folks told you to install on your laptop? Is
your laptop a member of the corporate domain or are you installing ADAM in a
workgroup configuration?

Also, please disable real-time virus scanning while working with ADAM or at
least 'exclude' *.dit, *.log, *.edb, and *.chk files that are in the
"\Microsoft ADAM" folder hierarchy from real-time protection.

Hi,

The laptop is a member of the domain Finance. I am trying to install ADAM
for an application I work with to test functionality, I thought it would be
easier than trying to get IT to set up a test ADS for me.

I disable my viruscan software completely and it makes no difference. The
personal firewall is allowing traffic through port 389 which is the only port
I am trying to connect through

I also installed ADAM on a laptop XP SP2 which is connected to a workgroup,
as an Admin user, and I receive exaclty the same set of error messages.

Any thoughts.

Peter
