I wanted to change the managedBy attribute for a group but
I keep on running on an operations error. Any help is
appreciated. Thanks!


This is the code for the method I'm using:


public static void SetGroupOwner(string Path, string User,
string Pwd, string Owner, string Group) {

DirectoryEntry ad =
GetDirectoryEntry("LDAP://server.domain.com", User, Pwd);
DirectorySearcher ds = new
DirectorySearcher(ad, string.Format("(&
(objectCategory=user)(name={0}))", Owner));
SearchResultCollection src =
ds.FindAll();
foreach(SearchResult sr in src)
{
try
{

DirectoryEntry usr = sr.GetDirectoryEntry();

DirectoryEntry de = GetDirectoryEntry(Group, User,
Pwd);

PropertyValueCollection pvc = de.Properties
["managedBy"];
pvc.Clear
();
pvc.Add
(GetProperty(usr, "distinguishedName"));

de.CommitChanges();
}
catch (Exception e) {

Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
}
}

Ricky,

I don't think managedBy is a multivalued property. It's linked, though, so,
I'd just set it's value to the DN of the user, and then commit.
