Ah, that sample was regular VB(script). In .NET, you are probably calling
the Invoke method like this:
entry.Invoke("SetPassword, new object[] {"newpass"});
instead do this:
entry.Invoke("ChangePassword", new object[] {"oldpass", "newpass"});
This is exactly what you do in AD, except that you need to do all of that
additional set up regarding password security requirements and such (unless
you are using SSL already in ADAM).
HTH,
