Is this against a Win 2003 DC? I can run the following against a 2000 DC
(complex passwords required) without any problems:
Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://OU=myOU,dc=teststate,dc=testmt,dc=testads";)
Set objUser = objOU.Create("User", "cn=MyerKena")
objUser.Put "sAMAccountName", "myerkena"
objUser.SetInfo
objUser.AccountDisabled = false
objUser.SetPassword "ComplexPW1"
objUser.SetInfo
However, if I change the password to "ComplexPW" then I get the same error
that you receive, which I would expect. Oddly, I can comment out the
SetPassword altogether and the user gets successfully created.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Creating programatically when password complexity is in
force
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)?
