Accesing the Active Directory

[Lalo]

Hi everybody :

I need to access the Active Directory of a server (\\server01) and check if
an user exists (User : user01 / Pass : pass01). First, i need to check if the
user exists and then check if the password is the user's password (user01's
password).

Any ideas of how to do this??
TIA

There is a pretty good explanation of getting started accessing Active
Directory in the online help of Visual Studio, or at
http://msdn.microsoft.com just look for the "DirectoryEntry " object.
