Symptoms:
- You keep getting the exception HRESULT: 0x800708C5 with the Active directory membership provider change password indicating that the password used does not conform to the domain password policy.
- As an admin, you are able to update the user password using that same password.
Probable cause:
- The active directory policy can be set to allow a “minimum password age”, i.e. users cannot change their own password before it is at least X days (default 1). The Administrator though does not have such restrictions when trying to update a user’s password.
- This can be checked at Start->Administrative tools->Group policy Management->Navigate the tree to the domain-> default domain policy –>right click edit->computer configuration –>policies –>windows settings->security settings-> account policies->password policy->check the entry for “minimum password age”
- If you want to reset it (mainly for development/testing purposes), just change it to zero. then go to command line gpupdate /force to apply the new policy

These are truly wonderful ideas in on the topic of blogging.
You have touched some nice factors here. Any way keep up wrinting.
I think everything said was very logical.
However, think about this, suppose you wrote a catchier post title?
I am not suggesting your information is not solid., however what
if you added a title that grabbed people’s attention? I mean Getting Exception “HRESULT: 0x800708C5” with ADMembershipProvider change password method | Emad’s Blog
is kinda vanilla. You ought to peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how they write news headlines to grab viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a picture or two to get people excited about everything’ve written.
In my opinion, it could bring your blog a little livelier.
Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve
had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another
platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a
good platform.
