I've run into an interesting problem.  If I create a user
programatically, (using C#, but we've confirmed the same with VBScript)
the password cannot be set until the user object exists.  If I try it,
we get the error:

"Server is unwilling to process the request" 

when a SetInfo is done on the creation of the user object.  All required
fields for the user object are being entered, and checked per the 'Tuna'
just to be sure.

However, the user cannot exist with a blank password because the blank
password violates the password complexity and the minimum length rules.
And, as stated, the password cannot be set until the object exists.

Would one of the scripting / programming geniuses that we have here tell
me what I'm missing?  I have to believe that there is a way to do this.
Or, am I going to be relegated to using ADUC again to create my users
(which is a major pain in the a$$, to say the least)?
