SYMPTOMS
When a Web site uses P&M to store user values in a dynamic container by using a secondary Active User Object (AUO) provider, the Personalization and Membership (P&M) SetInfo method in the Membership.UserObjects object may cause an exception 0x80070005 &quot;General access denied&quot; error message to occur.



CAUSE
The Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) path is used in conjunction with the users account when a Web page is requested. In this case, the AUO resets the username and password to try and use the Anonymous Access method when it attempts to connect to a container in which the user does not exist (yet).



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, grant the Public group Create and Delete Child permissions on the dynamic container. Create and Delete Child permissions allow the user to create new objects and delete existing objects in a container.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Site Server version 3.0. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

219292 How to Obtain the Latest Site Server 3.0 Service Pack



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Site Server 3.0. This problem was first corrected in Site Server 3.0 Service Pack 4.



MORE INFORMATION
This fix detects the error code and does not reset the credentials. Therefore. the immediate retry succeeds when the user had been created in the container.
