Re: IISADMPWD for Expired Passwords



I have similar problem as well. Trouble shooting it, it fails on this line.

GetObject("WinNT://" & domain & "/" & username & ",user")

With more troubleshooting, I did find that it does work if the account is
local on the web server, but not if it is on a windows 2003 domain. However,
if the account is not expired, it does work fine. It appears that if the
account is expired it can't read objects from the domain.
