I'm trying to create a user and add a certain user to an Active Directory group using C#.

The user creation is working properly, but adding user to groups is throwing an exception

Information about the domain could not be retrieved (1355)

Here is my code:

using (PrincipalContext pc = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, ip, user, password))
{
    GroupPrincipal group = GroupPrincipal.FindByIdentity(pc, groupname);                              

    UserPrincipal up = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(pc, username);                               

    group.Members.Add(up);
    group.Save();   // here the exception is thrown
}
