Distributed Query

I would like to perform Distributed Queries on Active Directory via views in
SQL Server. I have created a linked server by executing:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'ADSI', 'Active Directory Services 2.5',
'ADSDSOObject', 'adsdatasource'
However whenever I run even the simplest query:
SELECT *FROM OPENQUERY( ADSI,
'SELECT SN FROM ''LDAP://OU=myOu,DC=subdomain,DC=mydomain,DC=com'' ')
I get the following error:
OLE DB provider 'ADSDSOObject' reported an error. The provider indicates
that the user did not have the permission to perform the operation.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'ADSDSOObject' ICommandPrepare::Prepare
returned 0x80040e09: The provider indicates that the user did not have the
permission to perform the operation.].
I am logged into the server as an Administrator and logging into query
analyzer as sa - so I should have all required permissions.
Any ideas? Any help or direction is really appreciated - Thanks in advance,

What account is SQL Server running under? The query is run in it's context.

|||Thanks for the response - I think we've gotten somewhere - under properties
of the linked server (under the security tab) i set all logins to use an
Administrator account (for Active Directory).
Now when i run the same basic query i get the following error:
Could not execute query against OLE DB provider 'ADSDSOObject'.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'ADSDSOObject' ICommandText::Execute
returned 0x80040e22].
Unfortunately it's not very informative but I'm guessing that it means that
there is a problem with my query (syntax, LDAP string, etc)? I have tried
changing around the query a bit but no success yet.
Any ideas? Am I headed in the wrong direction? Thanks again for the help!
