Jose, This works great in professional, however, I cannot get it to work in the web player. I am getting this error:

Could not perform action 'SCRIPTNAME'.

jww,

Some scripts only work on the client. It has to do with the clr and .NET (AD) references since the webplayer is running in a different environment. Make sure the sSpotfire service account running webplayer services requires permissions to query AD

Jose,

I have an update. If you specify the username and password - generally of a service account, it will work via IIS.

Example:
#Add these lines below root = DirectoryEntry(myPath)
root.Username = UserName
root.Password = SecurelyStoredPassword
