I have a local user, which is member of Administrators local group. When I run this code: using System; using System.DirectoryServices; namespace nanttest { class Program { public static void Main(string[] args) { using(DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://localhost/W3SVC")) { object absobject = entry.NativeObject; Console.WriteLine("Name: {0}", entry.Name); } Console.Write("Press any key to continue . . . "); Console.ReadKey(true); } } } I receive: Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80070005): Access is denied. at System.DirectoryServices

H​i. I would like to know the address of my user's Exchange server (assuming she's in a typical Windows office network). This is in a C# application. I already have the user's email address, I found it at System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal.Current.EmailAddress , after referencing System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement kjosh I use this for my Exchange client application. Install Exchange Web Services Managed API Change your C# project's Properties/Application changed the target framework to '.NET Framework 4' not '.NET 4 Client Profile' Reference C:\Program Files

I need to read the Active Directory, search users and create user functionality. I am able to use DirectoryEntry in C# and Domain is only physical server. In my production environment, I have two physical domain servers with same domain name. When I try to search the AD user or create, I am getting the following exception. Exception : "0000202B: RefErr: DSID-031007EF, data 0, 1 access points" [extended Error 8235] Note that I have Domain Admin privileges on the domain but I'm still having the same issue. 0000202B: could mean wrong DN/searchbase like incorrect DC value etc. Your problem looks

This is not so much a question as information for anyone experiencing the same problem. The following error occurs: System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.PrincipalOperationException: An error (87) occurred while enumerating the groups. The group's SID could not be resolved. at System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.SidList.TranslateSids(String target, IntPtr[] pSids) at System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.SidList.ctor(List`1 sidListByteFormat, String target, NetCred credentials) at System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.ADDNLinkedAttrSet.TranslateForeignMembers() When the

I've been recommended to use System.DirectoryServices.Protocols to be able to support connecting to LDAP servers other than Active Directoy here . Unfortunately, I have not been able to search the directory properly. I'd like to be able to get a certain attribute for a user (e.g. mail ). This is easily done in System.DirectoryServices namespace by using DirectorySearcher class. How can I achieve the same in System.DirectoryServices.Protocols namespace. Here's what I have so far: var domainParts = domain.Split('.'); string targetOu = string.Format("cn=builtin,dc={0},dc={1}", domainParts[0],

On a Vista dev machine I used this code successfully to change user "Administrator" password: directoryEntry.Invoke("SetPassword", "new"); When I moved it over to my Server 2008 dev machine that code did not work, and I was forced to use the following code: directoryEntry.Invoke("ChangePassword", new object[] { "old", "new" }); My question is, why? For both cases, I created my DirectoryEntry object as such: DirectoryEntry directoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry(string.Format("WinNT://{0}/{1}", computerName, username)); Thanks! 8) In case you guys find it helpful, heres the actual code. using

Given a username and a password for a domain user, what would be the best way to authenticate that user programatically? It appears that .NET 3.5 added a new namespace to deal with this issue - System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement. Code sample is below: Private Function ValidateExternalUser(ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String) As Boolean Using context As PrincipalContext = New PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, _defaultDomain) Return context.ValidateCredentials(username, password, ContextOptions.Negotiate) End Using End Function The namespace also seems to provide a lot

I use this code: DirectoryEntry objEntry; DirectorySearcher objSearchEntry; SearchResultCollection objSearchResult; string strFilter = "(&(objectCategory=User))"; objEntry = new DirectoryEntry(conOUPath, conUser, conPwd, AuthenticationTypes.Secure); objEntry.RefreshCache(); objSearchEntry = new DirectorySearcher(objEntry); objSearchEntry.Filter=strFilter; objSearchEntry.SearchScope=SearchScope.Subtree; objSearchEntry.CacheResults=false; objSearchResult=objSearchEntry.FindAll(); Each time, it only return 1000 users, but there are 3000 users in that OU. How can i find all of them ? If you're on
