Okay on my SharePoint server, when i want to grant a user permission to lets say the Owner's group, i go and search for the user in A.D find Him, and when i add him i get this error: Server error in '/'Application..

The same happens when i say select a user to view his permissions in SharePoint, i get the same service, also in IIS i had a look at the accounts that the application pools are using and they are a domain account with the correct rights to connect to A.D.

In event log this is the event.

Event code: 3005 Event message: An unhandled exception has occurred. Event time: 10/11/2012 10:02:47 AM Event time (UTC): 10/11/2012 8:02:47 AM Event ID: d902e2fa97c9449aa7b5cc4ed017723b Event sequence: 2913 Event occurrence: 5 Event detail code: 0 Application information: Application domain: /LM/W3SVC/1901200390/ROOT-1-129944117181445077 Trust level: WSS_Minimal Application Virtual Path: / Application Path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\ Machine name: Process information: Process ID: 1000 Process name: w3wp.exe Account name: Domain\user Exception information: Exception type: InvalidOperationException Exception message: There is an error in XML document (1, 43).

For some odd reason, this is related to IE9 (according to http://www.alectang.com/blog/archive/2012/04/24/system-invalidoperationexception--there-is-an-error-in-xml-document.aspx).

I used developer tools (F12) and changed my browser mode to IE8 and it worked around this issue. Doesnt explain why it happens, but allows you to work around it atleast..

Internet Explorer 11 fails no matter what, but Chrome 34 works fine (though it adds the user twice).
