    I have a Win2K server in a DMZ without domain access. My C# ASP.net page
    can not see the DirectoryServices namespace. I found a KB article on the
    security issue with this, but I don't have domain accounts to use from the
    DMZ, and don't want to set the machine.config properties for all aspx pages.
    I just want to set the password from a simple verification application that
    passes the user ID and password to the below page. Can this be done another
    way? Thanks for any assistance.

    <%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %>
    <%@ import Namespace="System" %>
    <%@ import Namespace="System.DirectoryServices" %>

    <script runat="server">
     private void Page_Load (object sender, EventArgs e){

        String empNum = Session["lawEmpNum"].ToString();
        String newPassword = Session["password"].ToString();
        Response.Write("Employee Number is " + empNum);
        Response.Write("Password is " + newPassword);

        // correct the userPath!!!
            String userPath = "WinNT://localhost/" + empNum;
            using (DirectoryEntry userEntry = new DirectoryEntry(userPath))
             {
                 object[] password = new object[] {newPassword};
                 object ret = userEntry.Invoke("SetPassword", password );
                 userEntry.CommitChanges();
            }
