Thank you Ron.
Do you know if the SP2 needs to be applied to the DC as well, or just the server?
The article doesn't clarify that.

Subject: IsUserInRole works *only* if COM+ Roles are mapped to
individual users!!!

Hi all:

I am trying to use the COM+ IsUserInRole(caller, rolename) method to
determine whether the caller is in a particular role or not.

When I used "IsCallerInRole", everything worked correctly. Then I used
IsUserInRole, passing in the SID of the original caller (that I got from
the security call context), and the method returned false for every
role!

I was mapping my COM+ Roles to AD Groups. When I changed the mapping,
and mapped COM+ Roles to individual AD users instead, IsUserInRole
started working!

Aaargh - this seems like a bug to me! Seems like IsUserInRole does not
work when COM+ roles are mapped to AD groups, but in a full AD
environment, why would anyone map COM+ roles to individual AD users!

Bug or design feature?
