Hi all,
I have made a site which interacts with a database for details on people
which they are able to input them selves. I would like to be able to take
those details and put them into "Active Directory" i.e. to create a network
account and e-mail account for the person inputting the data on to the site.
Any idea's would be very welcome.
Thanks Tim.
 
System.DirectoryServices should provide most of the functionality you need -
although for some more advanced things like mailboxes you will need to
resort to using ADSI and CDO directly.

Following link describes how to create a mail-enabled user:

Be VERY careful about security if this is an internet application - could a
malicious user easily write a script to create 20 billion users in your AD?

There are also products around to support web/mail hosting provisioning -
MPS from Microsoft is just one of them (targetting larger hosting
organizations)..

Hi Rich, thanks for that. does that also work for network account creation
aswell on active directories?
