Validate Domain Username/Password Sample Code?

[Scott Lezberg \(Deltek\)]

Does anyone have some sample code that can validate a domain username and
password account to check to see if it is a valid account?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Scott,

I don't have sample code for you at the ready, but you may want to look into
Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM):

Hope this helps...

Does that come with AD or is it a download from somewhere?

Hi Derek,

ADAM is part of the Microsoft Platform SDK. You can get it here:

(It's my understanding that much of the same functionality is also found in
the System.DirectoryServices namespace.)

Here are a lot of good examples:
