 Turned NT on, now can't access any pages

Using the web interface, I turned on the NT authentication. Now I can't get to any of my forum pages. I just get this:

error '800401e4'
Invalid syntax
/discuss2/inc_func_common.asp, line 814

Line 814 in my inc_func_common.asp reads:
Set strNTUserInfo = GetObject("WinNT://"+strNTUser)

How can I turn off NT authentication to get back into my pages?

I saw this same question was posted deep in a thread two weeks ago, but it wasn't resolved. I'm stuck now so I'm hoping someone can tell me how to get going again.

Thank you,
Nancy

Apply the fix from here:

http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=34873

Halfway down the page you will see a post from Nikkol that tells you to replace 2 lines from register.asp to rectify this....as long as you've set everything else up okay.

I just tried to set up a new forum as well. Set authentication to NT and then selected both settings in the NT mod. I also applied the two lines from Nikkol and am still getting this error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01b6'

Object doesn't support this property or method: 'strNTUserInfo.Groups'

/mis/forum/inc_func_common.asp, line 997

Okay, I went into the register.asp and made the first change from Nikkol's message, changing the line to read
strSql = strSql & ", " & cLng(rsKey("M_RECEIVE_EMAIL")) & " "

Then I couldn't find the second line she suggests changing. Instead, I found something very close to the way she wanted it changed. The line I found was:
strSql = strSql & ", " & cLng(Request.Form("ReceiveEMail"))

so I tried adding: & " " so it would match what she had.

No change in the forum. Still getting the same error message.

No, it's the same error I included in my initial post about "invalid syntax"

I'm not an expert on NT authentication for these forums, but I'll try to help. What's the OS of your server?

We have an NT server running IIS.

Install the DSClient.exe (download from Microsoft - best search for it).

This will enable directory services on NT4 and with any luck will allow that bit of code to work. The other bug fix was to allow entries to be written to the database (it was trying to write a string to a number field) and isn't the same problem.

Then you can either leave NT authentication on or else turn it off since you'll be able to get back into your forum.

HTH.

Try here:

http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/other/ADSI25/x86.asp

The link is called ads.exe.

Install this and you should get ADSI working.

NT4 doesn't have ADSI installed by default. You can use the link that aspdude gave to download and install adsi

Thank you pxb, Nikkol, and ASPDude for your advice. Unfortunately work is taking me away from my computer for a few days so I can't do the install and test right away. I'll let you know if it works.
Thanks again,
Nancy
