reset passwords app only works if user has full control of object

I have written an application in vb.net to reset user passwords in active
directory. If I run the application as a user with full contol of the AD
object I can reset the password.
If I run the application as a user with just reset password permission on
the account I cannot reset the password and get an error about access denied.
At the same time I can run Active Directory Users and Computers and reset
the account password.

Any thoughts.

Hi All... I'm been fighting this problem for a few days now, and it seems like it should be simple. But the solution has eluded me so far... I need to flag a record when it is updated or when it is a new insert. Then I SELECT for the changed records and do something not related to Postgres. Easy enough, I created a trigger procedure and fired it on INSERT OR UPDATE and modify NEW to set the flag field to true.

Hi: I have created a secured database for a client. For various reasons, I don't want the client to have full persmissions for the database; they aren't in the admins group. I have instead tried to create a second group, called "localAdmin," for the admin-type person at the client. I want this group to be able to do some basic admin-type stuff, including adding new users and clearing passwords if users forget theirs. I can't seem to...

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...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
