I'm pretty sure everything is setup properly. But this issue is definitely not the software's fault.
This is our issue:
http://server1/forums - this URL works
http://intranet.domain.com/forum (which is internal as well) does not work.

Do you get the home page from both these URL's? If so, i suspect it may be the cookies that may be causing the problems (i'm assuming you did the form setup using the intranet.domain.com URL - if so, click the "clear cookies" link at the bottom of the home page).
I've noticed some interesting "features" with AD enabled, which i need to investigate a bit further, but if you give a AD account admin rights on the forum, you can't login to the admin.asp page as if prompts you for a non-existant password.

I've created a Step-By-Step guilde for installing Web Wiz Forums using the Integrated Authentication method. It also has instructions on installing my mod for full Active Directory Integration, which may be useful to you.

I'm appreciative of those links... care to fill us in on what your Mod actually does though?

Yeah, sure.
The Mod uses Active Directory information (e.g. the DisplayName, Title and Office attributes), giving people's "full names" rather than just the NT name. This means that, for example, if Jane Smith (NT name=JSmith) gets married and changes her name to Jane Brown (NT name=JBrown) the WWF is automatically updated to reflect both the new NT name and DisplayName.
Hope this helps.

Fantastic.
I wish someone like you existed in the phpBB/VBulletin arenas... they're all UNIX-heads and for years their developers have said "an LDAP mod for Active Directory would be easy" but yet it is still not stable out of the box even on phpBB 3.0 RC7. WWF is the ONLY forum software I have yet to test that supports AD out of the box.

So not only is the documentation curtailed towards SQL Server environments, but the scripts are specific to SQL Server as well?

Not specifically. It was designed as a really simple guide for use within the organisation I work for. I wrote the documentation using SQL Server 2005, but there is no reason why they can't be amended to suit MySQL or Access. Thinking about it, if you're running it in an intranet environment would you use Access?
The vbScript to sync the databases may need a bit of modification to support both, which i'm sure I can do.
What would you like to see? or which parts need improving?

I'm absolutely fine with the documentation. I'm not so boneheaded I can't just mentally-replace your SQL Server steps with what I'd need to do in MySQL.  But where I am truly boneheaded is the script. I can tell enough to know you're calling for variables that are SQL Server-specific, which explains to me why the script is not connecting to my DB but I am lame from that point on.
