Question, DirectoryServic e Password reset for Local Account. (not

Hey everyone, Im having some issues with my app resetting a users local
account.

They will be accessing the website from a domain account however logging
into the website with a local account. The local account will be reset from
that web application. I have the Following.

string pathname = "WinNT://myMachine/";

DirectoryEntry usr = new DirectoryEntry( pathname);

usr.Username = "test";
usr.Password = "test";

usr.Invoke("Set Password",new object[]{"test2"});

usr.CommitChang es();
I'm assuming I also need to Disable Anonymous Access from IIS,

any suggestions?

Hi. I have some code that updates a user's account properties in Active Directory. The code also has a call that resets the account password (see code below). I put the code in a .dll and have a test vb.net app that calls it. It works fine from there. When I try to call the .dll from an asp.net app, the update works but I get the error 'Access is Denied' when I try to reset the password. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe you need to be...

I have written a COM component who's purpose is to allow a user to change his Windows (NT/AD) password via a web page. Now the component works fine when I run it in VB 6, but not via the web page. The component also returns an integer value that contains a return code from the Component (and the appropriate Windows API). The result (using the ASP page) is Zero, which indicates success. However the password doesn't change. (Zero = success,...

Hi can someone please tell me how I change this directory service query so that it searches through each record in the active directory and returns all the accounts! At the moment I can only get the query to return one account at a time! I presume I have to create some kind of loop on the following so I return all the users SAM info???? Dim SamAccount As String = Right(inSAM, Len(inSAM) - InStr(inSAM, "\"))

I have what I think is a simple question but I am finding nothing but complicated answers. I have a web site running on IIS6. One directory used to use an alternate account as the anonymous user (not the IUSR_ServerName account) to connect to a database, etc. Now the pages in that directory no longer do anything special and I just want to start using the default IUSR_ServerName account again. I put that account back in, but what do I...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
