I am currently working on a project, and I keep getting this error when I am trying to create an active directory user, using C#. The exception that is getting thrown is that the server is unwilling to process the request and shows the error code, 0x80072035. What can I do to fix this?
You will get this error code when there is something wrong with the password you have set, that is your password is against their policy. It can be the length, special characters, the password is already in use, etc.
The first thing to do is to figure out what the error code means by deriving the COM exception error code and mapping it to a root cause. The exception is usually of TargetInvocation type. If you want to fix this error, find out the requirements from the AD administrator and make sure that the new password satisfies the requirements.
