Re: Changing windows passwords remotely

Use the System.Directory namespace classes like you did, but invoke the
native method to change the password of a user like this.


UserEntry is a DirectorEntry object reference that points to the user
account entry in the AD.

object[] password = new object[] {"oldpwd", "newPwd"};
object ret = userEntry.Invoke("ChangePassword", password );
userEntry.CommitChanges();
....
