What do you mean? How are you running the ASP application not in IIS?

Likely your query tries to run against the local system, not the DC.

The LDAP query is running against the DC, not the local
machine.

Alright, you'll have to post your code then and indicate what error you're
getting.

You'd need to show some code snippets and the full text of the error
then. As well as any relevant event log entries. Show how you're
making the connection to AD, as well as the code for the query. Might
also want to Response.Write the query right after it's created, so you
can check that it actually is what you think it should be.

Also, is IIS on a DC? Are the IUSR/IWAM accounts domain accounts?
