While trying to retrieve the authorization groups, an error (5) occurred

Question

This error is what I get if I run the application on the server, but not locally. Why is this happening on the server and not locally???

List<GroupPrincipal> result = new List<GroupPrincipal>();

// establish domain context
PrincipalContext yourDomain = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain);

// find your user
UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(yourDomain, userName);

// if found - grab its groups
if (user != null)
{
//here happens the error on server.
PrincipalSearchResult<Principal> groups = user.GetAuthorizationGroups();

Please help me.

I found another solution to get access to the GROUPS:

PrincipalSearchResult<Principal> groups = user.GetGroups();
