Re: Synchronize Active Directory with MySQL

Sure you can. What language are you writing the script in? Here's some
information on the iadsuser methods and the requirements. I'm sure other
languages would be able to set passwords as well. There's even some sample
web based code that comes with the IIS server code. It's under the
IISADMPWD information.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adsi/adsi/iadsuser_setpassword.asp

Does that help? Let us know what language you're using to read and write
the data and somebody may be able to give more relevant code snippets.
