I went through the pains of figuring out the difference between Domain Account Mode & Active Directory Account creation mode in Sharepoint V2, so now I'm running active directory on my web server (sounds secure, doesn't it). I was able to switch from the default Domain Account mode to Active Directory Account mode by using:

stsadm.exe -o setconfigdb -databaseserver
"MachineName\sharepoint" -databasename "ConfigDB"
-adcreation -addomain "FQDN" -adou "SurveyUsers"

(The items above in quotes are variables, dependent upon the installation options you want).

And that actually worked. So now, I go to my default website, and I get:

"The virtual server that is referenced here is not in the config database."

This sounds like something I should be able to fix, but I'm not having any luck. If I switch back to my old database, the default site works again, but I'm back in Domain Account Mode. I tried copying the SQL table that referenced the virtual server to the Active-Directory-Mode table and pointing Sharepoint back to the AD mode database, but it didn't work.

There doesn't seem to be much good info on V2 (probably because it's still beta), but if anyone has an answer for this, I would love to hear it. Alternately, if anyone knows of any other good user forums for Sharepoint (besides that would probably be helpful.

Thanks in Advance.
 
I forgot to mention; I'm talking about Sharepoint Team Services Beta2, not Sharepoint Portal Server.
