I have developed a console app in vb.net that resets a user account password on a domain based on an encrypted new password that rotates on a schedule. The tool has worked for more then 5 years distruting and update logins from a master list across multiple windows domains.
Enter windows sever 2008 and the UAC. My tool works fine if run the app by rigth clicking on the tool and selecting run as administrator. The tool also works if i turn off the UAC on the server. My current tool updates the passwords using the netdom command and i thought that was the problem. So I just spend a few days learning the system.directoryservices namespace and thought redesigning my tool as an managed .net app would resolve my problem. The result was the same problem it updates correctly only when the UAC is off or I right client the application and "run as administrator" to get the full access token from the UAC. Now my question is, I'm looking for ideas for how to reset a user password from .net that will work with out hitting the UAC restrictions.
