Brad,

I have a reference to ActiveDs.tlb, that's the only COM AD object I have a
reference to, and the user I'm binding to AD with is a member of
Administrators on the AD machine I'm binding to.

Cheers.

DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.NativeObject.SetPassword()


Tom -

2 questions...(1) Do you also have a reference to the
COM object ActiveDs.tlb?  (2)  When you bind to AD,
are you doing so with a UserName/Password that has
Admin rights?

ASP.NET 1.0 Namespace Reference with C#
http://www.wrox.com/acon11.asp?ISBN=1861007442

ASP.NET 1.0 Namespace Reference with VB.NET
http://www.wrox.com/acon11.asp?ISBN=1861007450

These books are a complete reference to the ASP.NET namespaces 
for developers who are already familiar with using ASP.NET. 
There is no trivial introductory material or useless .NET 
hype and the presentation of the namespaces, in an easy-to use 
alphabetical order ensures a user-friendly reference format.
We provide in-depth coverage of all the major ASP.NET classes, 
giving you those real-world tips that the documentation doesn't 
offer, and demonstrating complex techniques with simple 
examples.
