| 746585 | 2009-02-11 02:01:00 | I am trying to create a program that resets a user's password in Active Directory. How might I do this?? The user that will be running the program has rights to reset passwords, we just want to keep them out of AD is possible. |

Or are you trying to delegate control to selected users over multiple users accounts? |

| 746587 | 2009-02-11 04:36:00 | Problem is - I work at a school and lots of stuidents often forget their passwords. I want to delegate control of password resetting to someone else. | jwil1 (65) | ||
| 746588 | 2009-02-11 05:11:00 | Basically new up a System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry (msdn.microsoft.com) object, set some properties and call CommitChanges(). Have a look here (examples are in C#, but show which classes to use, just translate to VB.NET): www.codeproject.com In particular here: www.codeproject.com Set yourself up a sandbox/dev environment using ADAM so you can experiment without screwing with your school's AD setup: www.microsoft.com |
