Active Directory Account Locking Out On First Try?
Jul 6, 2010
I have a website which requires users to enter their corporate network username and password. It then looks for that account in Active Directory and gets a list of any email addresses associated with that account.
The problem I am having is that ONE incorrect password is locking out an account. Our domain policy is that an account will lock out after three incorrect entries, so I am assuming that I am doing something wrong in my code. I am not very knowledgeable about Active Directory or .NET DirectoryServices in general, which may be apparent from my code. Here it is:
public ArrayList AuthenticateActiveDirectory(string Domain, string UserName, string Password)
{
// An error occurs if the username/password combo does not exist.
// That is how we know it is not a valid entry.

I want to learn how to add/delete/update account (including adding mail boxes for new users). Can someone point to a good book where I can begin from. I want to start with some real basics and build from there.
Here in my work I have four guys managing AD server(2003), and one of this guys, locked an workstation account. I would like to know if there are a way to find out who did this.
What is the best way to use System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement to lock an Active Directory user object? I'm able to determine if an account is locked using..
UserPrincipal principal = new UserPrincipal(context); bool locked = principal.IsAccountLockedOut();
How do I lock the account? Is there an alternative to doing something like this...
UserPrincipal principal = new UserPrincipal(context); DirectoryEntry entry = (DirectoryEntry)principal.GetUnderlyingObject(); int val = (int)entry.Properties["userAccountControl"].Value;[code]....
I need an idea please, i have the task of disabling the Domain Administrator account, but we have a very messed up AC and im practilly new employee here. The administrator account has been used on several services, servers, print servers, etc. Across the network and sites. All our intersite communication is perfect.So what i want is a way to know in which devices this account is configured.Is there a way or tool, where i can input the account, and the output should be a list of servers, ip adresses or devices where the account is configured?
We are coding an intranet site using .net DirectoryServices and AccountManagement to create a computer account in Active Directory with access rules allowing a specific user to add the computer to the domain. Has anyone had any success using the AccessRuleFactory method to set access rules? I'm stumped with a few aspects. So far, this is what we have...Using AccountManagement, we can easily add the computer:
[Code]....
Next we get the DirectoryEntry and ObjectSecurity for the computer. Also dim the ACE object:
[Code]....
Set the userAccountControl: [Code]....
Here's where we're having problems: [Code]....
The IdentityReference needs to be the trustee for the computer - how can we get this using AccountManagement and/or DirectoryServices?And I'm not sure what to use for the Inherited Object guid?
Here's the complete vbscript we're trying to convert: [Code]....
I would like to make a webpage that enables users to create a new account ina ctive directory from a webpage. I then need the OCS 2007 activation wizard to run, so the user can use Communicator without any human input.
I am using System.directory services namespace in framework 2 to query active directory. I have used fixed user account impersonisation in the web.config file, find the code:
I have disabled anonymous access in IIS. Also i have given Read & write access to the account tang09 for the website virtual directory and Microsoft.NET folder located in windows folder. But still i get prompted for the domain username and password to access the website.
i have a problem with the users authentication on my site. I made <authentication mode="Windows"> in my web.config. The LoginView shows "mycomputermyusername" if i request the page. So far as well.

My questions: wich setting i have to do, that user's account and password checked by Active Directory? how can i force the system to make a new login? Logout doesn't work, i always see my on account.

I am updating some CS code that was written in 2004, and that references some assemblies which extract user data from AD by query filtering on the user's title. I can't test my updated code in VS2010 because the assemblies no longer compile - the references are no longer valid (I can't create a DirectoryEntry or DirectorySearcher) so I need to work out how to replace the code with current directoryservices.accountmanagement namespace properties and methods. I have searched around but don't seem to be getting anywhere. give me some code that will work with vs 2010 to replicate the following:
I have a problem with saving some data into extensionattribute in AD.There is no problem with saving data into properties like "Mobile" or "SN" but when I try to save data into one of extensionAttribute , for example: extensionAttribute7 , I get an error "The attribute syntax specified to the directory service is invalid".There is no problems of read data from extension Attributes.
I am looking at displaying certain information from Active Directory within an ASP.NET web page/application to allow users of my organisation to update thCe specified fields. I have searched the internet for help and found windows forms based information, but nothing to really help me with ASP.NET, and anything that could possibly be of any assistance to me is written in C#. I have already built a logon form that hands forms based authentication against AD, and now want to display that authenticated user information.
