ADSI helps you give users an easy-to-use Web interface for changing their passwords
Locally logged-on users can easily change their password through the Windows interface. When you're using Integrated Windows, Windows NT Challenge/Response, or Digest authentication, a user must log on to a system that supports Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) and the authentication method. The user can use standard Windows utilities to change a password directly through the Windows interface during the current logon session. Users who are disconnected from the network part of the time can change their passwords during their next logon session.

This works great on my Windows 2000 server with SP2 but as soon as I put SP3 and the critical updates on my server I now get an error 0x8007052F. I can't find any info on this. Would you have any advice?

I can't get this error out my page. Can someone help me?

Connect string: LDAP://CN=test,CN=users, DC=*my-server-name*, DC=Com
error '8007202b'

There is an error in the AD part of the changepassword1.asp file. The line that looks like this:

sConnectString = "LDAP://CN=" &
sUser & ",OU=users, " &
"DC=mycompany, DC=Com"

should look like this:

sConnectString = "LDAP://CN=" &
sUser & ",CN=Users, " &
"DC=mycompany, DC=Com"

since the Users folder in AD is a container and not an OU. Then it will work properly.

The article lists in TABLE 1: User Properties You Can Set or Change with the IADsUser Interface
However some of the properties are read-only (eg LastLogin, LastLogoff) and can NOT be changed.

The article was reproduced under license by MSDN,but the MSDN editorial team has no ability to make changes to this copyrighted material.
This can confuse many developers.

Great article. Very helpful. I have one question:
If the user enters a password that's too short, how do I set it up so that they get a more helpful error message?

I get the following error (after I changed for my computers settings):

Active Directory (0x80070005)
General access denied error

Any ideas?

I havent been able to get this code work on W2K too, I tried almost anything but the only thing I`ve been able to get is "Internal server error"...

Aleksandar Z. 6/26/2001 1:33:22 AM

Has anyone been able to get this to work on a Win2k server with Active Directory enabled? My problem is with the sConnectString statment, or better yet the ldap statment that follows it.



Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks,

If the specified user id was not found then it gives an ASP error.how to query SAM to find whether a user exists or not

I keep getting Event Id 627, Change Password Attempt failures on my domain controller, by the Anonymous account, when trying to change passwords using these scripts. I als have tried the IISADMPWD scripts that came with iis. CHanging the accounts local to the web server, work fine. The virtual website has been tried as NTLM and Basic Authentication. I've set ACL's on the .asp files to NO Access for anonymous. Any ideas?
