Hi,

I just set up WSS V3 in ADAC mode. It works for the most part.
However I'm having some frustrating issues with users though.

First:
I have errors being generated when I create users in ADAC mode.

When I go to create the user in People and Groups, I get
"Catastrophic failure(Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF
(E_UNEXPECTED))
And the account is not created.

If I do an iisrestart on the server, I can usually create one or two
more users, before the error reappears.

Using the latest WSS V3 frontend with SQL 2000 backend.

Secondly:
When a user goes to change their password, they enter their existing
password, the new password, and are given the following error: "I have
errors being generated when I create users in ADAC mode.

When I go to create the user in People and Groups, I get
"Catastrophic failure(Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF
(E_UNEXPECTED))
And the account is not created.

If I do an iisrestart on the server, I can usually create one or two
more users, before the error reappears.

Using the latest WSS V3 frontend with SQL 2000 backend.
"The user does not exist or is not unique."

To rule out permissions issues, I have set up the IIS Application pool
with the domain administrator credentials.

What might I possibly be missing? Thanks for your help.
