Error invoking password to LDAP

[Marco Widjojo]

I was successful to add a new user to active directory.
However, the set password is failed in the server.

I ran adding user to AD in my local machine and it worked
perfectly.But, when I try it in our server it failed. The
actual coding of adding the user is successful, however
when invoking password is failed.

Thus in the server, the user is added but not the password

My local machine and the server have .Net framework1.1.
My local machine Windows XP and server, WIndows 2000
advanced server

Below is my code(C#) to set a password for a new user.

object obRet = dsUser.Invoke("SetPassword", new object[]
{txtPwd.Text});
dsUser.CommitChanges();

The server gives me(NOT my local mchine):
"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation"

and I don't understand what is that mean?

Any help would be greatly appreciated?
Please

Can you get the whole exception text, including the inner exception??

E.g. can you print out Exception.ToString() instead of just
Exception.Message?

Also, you might want to call the SetPassword thing AFTER you've
committed the changes to the AD store - you first need to create the
user, before you can set a password on it.

Before I called the invoke set password, I already
committed the changes to create a user, that's why the
user is added to the AD but not the password (invoke
failed).

I see you are trying this from asp.net right?
In order to call "setpassword" you need a secure channel between the client and the DC, so you need to use SSL or the client has to
be a domain member.

Why then will this call work from a local (developer) machine, but not
work from a server?
