Thanks for the help guys. It got me off to a great start. I have successfully
created a user in my AD. As you already eluded to, I am struggling with the
password attribute. Can the password attribute be set when creating a user.
From what I gathered, the password attribute is 'unicodePwd'. This attribute
cannot be created, it can only be modified. Is this attribute created by
default when a user is created? Would I be able to do an add and then a modify
to set the password? I am aware of the fact that there are certain
restrictions in place in order to modify the password. I have setup my AD to
include SSL and I am able to bind as Administrator over port 636. With that
said one of the examples I ran across for adding a user refers to another
attribute 'userPassword'. I am unable to tell what this attribute is. In the
link below, it appears that the password is being set when the entry is added.
I have tried this unsuccessfully. I appreicate all the help thus far.
Regards,
Mike

This indeed rings a bell. You need to create the user as disabled (look
for userAccountControl on MSDN), set a compliant password, and then
enable him.
