Reading UserPassword from AD

Is it possible to read the User Password from the AD using ADSI/API or
an LDAP query? I'm storing the passwords in AD as plaintext using
reversible encryption.

The purpose here is to export the Username and password read from AD to
a database table (this table is used by another system)

Thanks!
 
You might want to look at something like MIIS instead -if user account
synchronisation across different systems is your goal.
 
Note that that still will not pull current passwords, it works by placing an
agent on every DC and captures new password changes and forwards them on.
