Call to DirectoryEntry.Invoke("SetPassword", new object[] {password} ) failing

Hi,

After creating a new user and committing, I am attempting to set the
password.
I create the user as:
DirectoryEntry newUser = adUserFolder.Children.Add("CN=" +
userInfo.username, "User");

// fill out properties, then commit

Then when calling newUser.Invoke("SetPassword", new object[] {strPassword});

I receive this error:

InnerException = {"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is
incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007B)":null}


I am connecting to a remote LDAP AD server. If I connect to a local server
I do not have this problem. I am using the default connection
AuthenticationTypes.
(should I be using something different than the default?)

i.e. my connection:

DirectoryEntry adUserFolder = new DirectoryEntry(strADServerUrl,
strADusername, strADpassword);

the strADServerURL looks like this:
LDAP://1.2.3.4:389/CN=Users,DC=mywebsite,DC=net

Thanks for any tips.

Frank
