I have found the problem that caused the strange behaviour in my
service (of old passwords kept working) it had nothing to do with your
problem (IIS). I had to explicitly call the UserEntry.Dispose()
(DirectoryEntry type) method in my service, the Garbage Collector
obviously does not entirely clean this object from memory. It's like
the object still remains in some ADS cache (although I disabled it by
setting UsePropertyCache to false) if you don't .dispose() it and code
gets out of scope.
