Hi all:

Could I use System.DirectoryServices to do some functions like as
NetUserChangePassword and NetValidateName? Any comment is appreciated.

There's definitely a method in the ADSI stack somewhere to change the
password on a given user - provided it's on an LDAP server (Active
Directory server - not a local server user).

Not sure about the NetValidateName - what are you trying to
accomplish? You can definitely search the AD object hierarchy for any
user and see if it exists - yes. Is that what you're looking for?

More info and code samples can be found here:
