Dim sADPath As String = "LDAP://MyADDomainString"

Dim DE As New DirectoryEntry(sADPath, username, password)
Try
If Not DE.Name Is Nothing Then
Return True 'Authentication Successful
End If
Catch err As Exception
Return False ' Authentication Failed
Finally
DE = Nothing
End Try

It apears tome that this code is just verifying that they a person with
the value in 'username' has a Name property in AD. So, does the
DirectoryEntry line with the username and password actually authenticate
them on the domain?

I found this
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-gb;q316748) and
had to make a few modifications so that it would work (not sure if it
was our environment or what). I also translated it into VB.NET so if
anyone is interested in the code then send me an email offlist. I will
also try to post the code to [aspngcodegiveaway] this weekend.
