LDAP Woes

My company wants me to create an admin web page that will allow them to
handle Active Directory maintenance. They need to be able to change a user's
email, add a user, and change/set the user's employeeID. In the future they
will need to do a lot more.

I have figured out how to let a user change his own password and how to
validate a user and get the groups that the user belongs to - but this is
when logging in as that user.

I need to do it from an administrator point of view.

I don't mind RTFM, but I can figure out where to read. Can someone please
point me to the documentation or to some sample code that I can bend to suit
my own needs, please?

First off, instead of rewriting everything again, how about using a
third-party tool that already does all of that?

There are other solutions, too - why reinvent the wheel?

A very good starting point (especially if you want to implement this
in .NET) is the System.DirectoryServices portal on MSDN:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...sds/portal.asp

Also, if you have more specific questions, you might want to post to
the microsoft.public.adsi.general newsgroup - that's where the most
AD programming gurus hang out.
