RE: Active Directory Password Script Error Trapping

I wrote a similar asp page for our company. trap the error that same way you
would with any other script:

If err.number = xxx Then
'do something
Else
'do something else
End if

You should put an On Error Resume Next in your script, and you need the
error number instead of 8007202f. To get that, put the wrong password in and
this code:

vbscript:
wscript.echo err.number

asp:
response.write err.number

The hard part is getting the permissions to work using a webpage. Ever
heard of double-hop authintication? Arrrgggghhh!

I would also suggest that you auto generate the password for the user and
force the user to change password on next logon. That way, you know it will
meet your company's password policy and you don't have to write error
handling for that.

And I'm sure you already know, you will want to to make sure the page is SSL.

Hope that helps.
