ASP GetObject("WinNT://") no longer works after upgrading to Windows 2003 domain

I just upgraded my domain from a Windows 2000 domain to a Windows 2003 domain and now when the below code is ran from my webserver it doesn't return the requested data from Active Directory.
<%
strUser= Replace(Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER"), "\", "/")
On Error Resume Next
 Set xUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strUser & ",user")
 usrUserName = xUser.Name
 usrFullname = xUser.Fullname
 nameArray = Split(usrFullname, " ", -1, 1)
 usrFirstName = nameArray(LBound(nameArray))
 usrLastName = nameArray(UBound(nameArray))
 usrPhone = xUser.Description
 For Each grp In xUser.Groups
 If Left(grp.Name,5) = "Dept_" then
 usrGroup = grp.Name
 End If
 Next
 'Print to screen for testing
 Response.Write "strUser : " & strUser & " "
 Response.Write "Username : " & usrUserName & " "
 Response.Write "Full Name: " & usrFullname & " "
 Response.Write "First Name: " & usrFirstName & " "
 Response.Write "Last Name: " & usrLastName & " "
 Response.Write "Description: " & usrDescription & " "
 Response.Write "Group: " & usrGroup & " "
 For Each grp In xUser.Groups
 Response.Write "Group: " & grp.Name & " "
 Next

My Domain Controller is Windows 2003
My webserver is Windows 2000 Latest SP and updates
The user is forced to login to this page with Windows autentication ,which is how I get the user name.
The <DOMAIN>/<USERNAME> is returned just fine from the Request.ServerVariables call
The above code worked fine before I upgraded the domain, that has been the only change.
No changes were made to the Windows 2000 web server
All other aspects of my environment work fine, no errors

Please help,

You could try creating a simple vbs file and see if it runs from the command line...

Set oUser = GetObject("WinNT://Yourdomain/Youruserid,user")
WScript.Echo(oUser.Name)
set oUser=nothing

Then try it as an asp page.

Great idea joeposter649!

I did what you suggested and ran your script.vbs file from the 2000 box and it worked just fine. It works fine from any box in my environment.
So what does that tell me?
It isn't the GetObject is it?

So I though maybe IIS...

I moved the website from the 2000 server to a 2003 server and it works if I access it from a windows 2003 system, but not from XP or 2000 pro. This is getting very confusing.

Maybe I need to change the way I access active directory? Does anyone have any good examples to get the data I am refering to in the above code?

Thanks!!!
