In the same ballpark, here's what I do after the account has been created.

Web.config "account impersonate" comes to mind also, but that (or
equivalent) should already be in place if you're able to create the users, I
believe.





Const UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD = 6553

Const UF_PASSWD_CANT_CHANGE = 64



Dim user As IADsUser

user = GetObject("WinNT://servernamehere/" + txtUN.Text + ",user")

user.AccountDisabled = False

user.SetInfo()



Dim lUserFLags = user.Get("userFlags")

lUserFLags = lUserFLags Or UF_PASSWD_CANT_CHANGE

lUserFLags = lUserFLags Or UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD

user.Put("userFlags", lUserFLags)

user.SetInfo()



user.SetPassword(txtPassword.Text)

user.SetInfo()

Subject: [ADSI-DirSrv] Set Active Directory User Password




Can anyone here let me know how to Set newly created AD User's
Password ?

Actually I am creating a new user in Active Directory using my C#
code.
It is created successfully.
Now when I tried to Set the Password of that newly created user , it
gives me an exception message as follows:
"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."

The InnerException message is as follows:

"The network path was not found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070035)"

The C# code I am using to Set Password is as follows :
-------------------------------------------------------
DirectoryEntry parent = new DirectoryEntry
("RootLDAPPath", "username", "password", AuthenticationTypes.Secure);

DirectoryEntry ouCustomer = parent.Children.Find("OU=Customers");
DirectoryEntry user = ouCustomer.Children.Find
("CN=testinguser", "user");

user.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.Secure;
user.Invoke("SetPassword", new object[] { "wohkaun@123" });
user.CommitChanges();
