It should work, but this problem is notorious to VS.NET. See
[url]http://groups.google.com/groups?q=active+directory+services+cannot+find+ser ver+.NET&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=%24jKyfrbNDHA.2584%40cpmsftngxa06.phx.gbl&r num=2[/url]
for additional information.

Also, note that if you are using Visual Studio .NET 2002, there is a known
bug with using Windows Server 2003 / IIS 6.0. You should upgrade to Visual
Studio .NET 2003 if possible. If not, see
[url]http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;817264[/url].

In the future, please see microsoft.public.vstudio.development or
microsoft.public.vstudio.general for these types of questions.
