Hi,

I have a web page through this page when I try to add a new user then users created successfully but when try resetting their password then I am getting errors’

add New user successfully

     public static void AddUser(ADUser adUser)

       {

           // Local variables

           DirectoryEntry oDE = null;

           DirectoryEntry oDENewUser = null;

           DirectoryEntries oDEs = null;

           try

           {

               oDE = GetDirectoryEntry(GetADPath(PROD, adUser.UserType));

               // 1. Create user account

               oDEs = oDE.Children;

               oDENewUser = oDEs.Add("CN=" + adUser.UserName, "user");

               // 2. Set properties

               SetProperty(oDENewUser, "givenName", adUser.FirstName);

               SetProperty(oDENewUser, "sn", adUser.LastName);

               SetProperty(oDENewUser, "mail", adUser.Email);

               SetProperty(oDENewUser, "sAMAccountName", adUser.UserName);

               oDENewUser.CommitChanges();

               /// 4. Enable account            

               EnableAccount(oDENewUser);

               // 3. Set password

               //SetPassword(oDENewUser, adUser.Password);

               SetPassword1(oDENewUser.Path, adUser.Password);

               oDENewUser.CommitChanges();

               oDENewUser.Close();

               oDE.Close();

           }

           catch (Exception ex)

           {

               throw ex;

           }

       }

I have try the following 2 SetPassword methods but getting error.

Method 1.

    internal static void SetPassword1(string path, string userPassword)

       {

           //Local variables

           DirectoryEntry usr = null;

           try

           {

               usr = new DirectoryEntry();

               usr.Path = path;

               usr.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.Secure;

               object ret = usr.Invoke("SetPassword", userPassword);

               usr.CommitChanges();

               usr.Close();

           }

           catch (Exception ex)

           {

               throw ex;

           }

       }

The exception raised (Error Code 80072035: The server is unwilling to process the request)

Method 2.

internal static void SetPassword(DirectoryEntry de, string userPassword)

       {

           //Local variables

           //DirectoryEntry usr = null;

           string quotePwd;

           byte[] pwdBin;

           try

           {

               quotePwd = String.Format(@"""{0}""", userPassword);

               pwdBin = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(quotePwd);

               de.Properties["unicodePwd"].Value = pwdBin;

               de.CommitChanges();

               //usr.Close();

           }

           catch (Exception ex)

           {

               throw ex;

           }

       }

The exception raised ("Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.")

Is there an easy way to tell if there is a problem with changing a password?

Please reply me as soon as possible.

Thanks.
