Set Max Password Age

[Guest]

Is it possible to set the max password age of a domain using C# &
DirectoryServices?

Thanks.

Yes. The primary issue is that you need to create the appropriate
IADsLargeInteger object with the correct data in it to set the 8 byte
integer value.

Are you sure this is worth coding? This value changes pretty infrequently
and it typically better done in other ways. I usually say the same thing
about extending the schema with LDAP calls instead of just using LDIF. It
is rarely worth coding.

Thanks.

As for why?...Don't ask, just consider it a weird customer requirement that
is inflexible.
