ASP.NET MVC Windows Authentiaction and DirectorySe

I am using ASP.NET MVC 4 and Windows Authentication. When I am using VisualStudio everything works fine, but when I deploy my site an exception is thrown.

var emailAddress = UserPrincipal.Current.EmailAddress;

throws:

Unable to cast object of type 'System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.GroupPrincipal' to type 'System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal'.

The rest works fine. Users can authenticate and I can get the users name etc.

EDIT:

I enabled Impersonation on IIS. Now I get the following exception:

[DirectoryServicesCOMException (0x80072020): An operations error occurred. ] System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail) +781 System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind() +44 System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.get_AdsObject() +42 System.DirectoryServices.PropertyValueCollection.PopulateList() +29

What can I do?

Set the IIS Application Pool Identity to NetworkService and use:

var identityName = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;
using (HostingEnvironment.Impersonate())
{
    using (var context = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "yourDomain", null, ContextOptions.Negotiate | ContextOptions.SecureSocketLayer))
    using (var userPrincipal = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(context, IdentityType.SamAccountName, identityName))
    {
        emailAddress = userPrincipal.EmailAddress;
        lastname = userPrincipal.Surname;
        firstname = userPrincipal.GivenName;
    }
}
