DirectoryServices are wrappers around the ADSI client library (activeds.dll), so both are functionaly equivalent.
Note that you can/should use the LDAP provider interface when binding to an AD o W2K or W2K3, when binding to a local machine you
can only use the WinNT provider.
Please post your failing code.
