First let me statethat my VB skills are appalling. Havent touched it since VB3 Ok here is the scenario. we want to be able to give our first line support the ability to modify AD groups BUT WITHOUT giving the acess or powers in the AD console. I have written command line scripts to do this and it works fine. Un fortunately we have people that think that if it dont have a OK NEXT CANCEL button it aint Windows :(

View 9 RepliesI want for the local intranet user with limited rights to be able to update Active Directory from his own limited account. For this, we created a separate Windows account as an intermediary, which has appropriate Domain Admin permissions. Now we want to use these credentials (account name, password) in the client program (a Windows Forms application) the user will work with to update Active Directory.
The problem is... it seems DirectoryEntry object in .NET 2.0 only accepts plain passwords. Hashed passwords (I tested MD5) don't work.
Is there a way to configure DirectoryEntry so that it would work with hashed ones? Something to do with authentication types?
Below is my sample code that works with plain passwords but rejects hashed:- - -
Dim Entry As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry(ActiveDirectoryServer, sUserName, sHashedPasswordUsingMD5)
Dim Searcher As New DirectorySearcher(Entry)

I have been given a task to:Develop a program where a child will be presented with picture of a fruit (one of five possible fruit) on the screen at the click of a start button. The child will then try to recognise the fruit and write its name in a specified place on the screen. On the click of a check button the name of the fruit written by the child will be checked by your program and if correct will reward the child with a suitable message. If the name presented by the child is not correct, a suitable message should be presented on a red background with the correct name of the fruit included in the message.
so far I have managed to create a form with 5 different fruit pictures and a text box below them. a button at the bottom of the form then checks the results and presents a message box to tell them if they have passed or failed.

I have a Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition application that operates as a front end for iSeries V6r1. The application was developed on a windows 7 machine. Users load the application from a shared folder on a server. Currently, there are 2 Vista, 3 windows 7 and 4 XP users. All had no problem in loading application, all users except 3 of 4 XP users can run the application with no problems.

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
All 4 XP users are on same service pack
