I have a .aspx page that gets USERS GROUPS from the Active Directory
after inputing the USERNAME of the user in a textbox.

And this has been working for me.
But now i get the error:-

"An Error occurred while getting group memberships
The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on
to"

An ideas what is wrong?

It sounds like the referenced account may be locked. If you can show a
short code sample that demonstrates this problem, that would be helpful.

Joe thanks for the reply but 'm getting the error when i try
retrieving the GroupMemberships.
Patrick


private string[] GetGroupMemberships(string path, ref int
primaryGroupID)
{
StringBuilder groupNames = new StringBuilder();
try
{
DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry(path);

string[] properties = {"memberof", "primarygroupid"};

entry.RefreshCache(properties);

// invoke Groups method which will get all groups
// user is member of even primary group

object groups = entry.Invoke("Groups");

// the read group name from collection
foreach (object group in (IEnumerable)groups)
{
DirectoryEntry groupEntry = new DirectoryEntry(group);
groupNames.Append(groupEntry.Name);
groupNames.Append("|");
groupEntry.Dispose();
}

// set primary group id
primaryGroupID =
Convert.ToInt32(entry.Properties["primarygroupid"].Value);
entry.Dispose();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Response.Write("<font color=red>An Error occurred while
getting group memberships. " +
ex.Message + "</font>");
Response.End();
}
return groupNames.ToString().TrimEnd(new char[]{'|'}).Split(new
char[]{'|'});
}
