If the Policy does not allow for blank passwords, then I assume the import
fails.
If I were doing this, I'd use the ADModify tool to export the accounts. The
output will be an ldf file. I'd use an encoder like this

One thing to consider is by using VB.NET you can take advantage of the
System.DirectoryServices namespace and that will make some of your coding
much easier - of course VB.NET will happily work with ADSI code as well.

There is one mandatory attribute that you need (sAMAccountName), but it is generally
