RE: Active Directory Password Script Error Trapping

Thanks for the advice.

That got my code working fine with the error trapping :-)

That's a very good point about SSL. I think I had a mental block there.
Should have thought of that seeing as though I've just setup the SSL

And I like the idea about autogenerated passwords. My users will sulk like
hell, but lifes a bitch :-P

Cheers
