I am not 100% sure wether this is the same issue, but I have noticed that you cannot create a security principal in AD without a valid password. But because you can only set the password once the principal is created, this is a cyclical dependency. You can get out of this by creating the account in the disabled state (by setting the appropriate flag in userAccountControl), then setting the password, and then enabling it. On a related note, you may be interested in my current project Python-AD: http://www.boskant.nl/trac/python-ad/ The code is ready for use and I will make the first release in a couple of days. At the moment the code is available though Mercurial. I have an working example script of create a user with Python-AD here: http://www.boskant.nl/trac/python-ad/wiki/TutorialFive The example sets sAMAccountName and it works flawlessly.
