I've run into a problem with ADS, and NT SP5 & IE 5.  A program that I wrote
for our helpdesk to allow them to change passwords and unlock accounts has
stopped working.  This program was being used daily for about 4 months,
without problems.  This past weekend I upgraded our PDC (Windows NT 4.0)
with SP5 and IE 5, and my program stopped working.  I verified the users
still have rights on domain, and also tried changing passwords through user
manager - everything is set correctly.

When we try running my program I'm getting a "run time error 70".

If anyone else has run into this problem, and can offer any suggestions I
would appreciate it.  I've even re-installed all the ADS stuff and nothing
seems to help.

My code follows:

  Private Sub Command2_Click()
    username = User_Name_fld
    Set UserObj = GetObject("WinNT://<MYDOMAIN/" & username)

    If UCase(username) = "ADMINISTRATOR" Then

       MsgBox "You are not allowed to change this password"

    Else

       If New_Pwd_fld <> Conf_Pwd_fld Then
          MsgBox ("Passwords do not match" & vbCrLf & "Please re-confirm")
        Else
          UserObj.SetPassword (Conf_Pwd_fld)
          MsgBox ("Password for " & username & " was reset to: " &
Conf_Pwd_fld)
          Unload Me
       End If
    End If
End Sub

Thanks,

Chris

According to Microsoft, ADSI 2.0 and 2.5 has some incompatibility issues
with MDAC 2.1, which is included in IE5.  Their basic solution is don't
install IE5 on any box where you need 100% functionality from ADSI.
