I have a System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry , a "User".

i can enumerate - READ - all of its properties, including:

RasPermissions=1
UserFlags=513
MaxStorage=-1
PasswordAge=1
PasswordExpired=0
LoginHours=System.Byte[]
FullName=testtestusername
Description=testuserdescription
BadPasswordAttempts=0
HomeDirectory=
LoginScript=
Profile=
HomeDirDrive=
Parameters=
PrimaryGroupID=513
MinPasswordLength=0
MaxPasswordAge=3710851
MinPasswordAge=0
PasswordHistoryLength=0
AutoUnlockInterval=1800
LockoutObservationInterval=1800
MaxBadPasswordsAllowed=0
objectSid=System.Byte[]

but no matter what i do i cannot - WRITE - to these properties (during add
or save operation):

BadPasswordAttempts
MinPasswordLength
MaxPasswordAge
MinPasswordAge
PasswordHistoryLength
AutoUnlockInterval
LockoutObservationInterval
MaxBadPasswordsAllowed

any reason why these properties are read only/failing?

ERROR:

- _innerException {"Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000500F."
} System.Exception
System.Object {System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException} System.Object
_HResult -2147463153 int

Is this just a limitation of the way in which the interop was done, hence a
"bug"?

verify you have permissions to do this.

If you are doing this from ASP.NET, you will need to impersonate an account
with the proper permissions. Also, IIRC, there is an overloaded method that
will accept a username and password to run under.

Of course this has been done. It works to set all other properties, except
those 8 that throw an exception (listed below)
