In the immortal words of Sheahan, John:My script is successfully creating AD and Exchange accounts but I'm having trouble setting the password. I am setting these attributes: 'userPassword' => 'password', 'userAccountControl' => '66048', # activates the account and sets the password to never expire For some reason, the password is not being set but my script does not throw an error.Not sure why you're not seeing an error, but normally the userPassword needs special encoding (UTF16 and quotation marks) and has other rules associated with it (only settable on an SSL connection, e.g.) - search the list archives/web for the details.
you can see one implementation of setting a AD password, based on the list archives, in Net::LDAP::Class::User::AD on CPAN. Look at the source for the password() method and the private methods for encoding/decoding the string.
