    <p>I got some code of a tool which does many security checks on client machines and I'm trying to understand some bug and solve it - need your help.</p> <p>There is a test which checks if the user password is set to "never expire". I tried this test offline and in 3 different networks and it seems to be working. There is some WIFI guest network in my company which return exception while executing the code. Here is the exception I'm getting:</p> <p><code>The network path was not found. at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.get_NativeObject() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.InvokeGet(String propertyName) at Intel.HostCheck.Engine.Checks.PasswordAge.CheckPasswordNeverExpired()</code></p> <p>See the the following code for understanding the test implementation:</p> <pre><code> private CheckResult CheckPasswordNeverExpired() { try { DirectoryEntry de; Logger.Debug("Password Age: isCurrentUserLocalUser - " + HelpFunction.isCurrentUserLocalUser()); if (HelpFunction.isCurrentUserLocalUser()) de = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + Environment.MachineName + "/" + Environment.UserName); else de = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + Environment.UserDomainName + "/" + Environment.UserName); object currentUser = de.InvokeGet("UserFlags"); if (currentUser != null) { Logger.Debug("PasswordAge: " + currentUser); Logger.Debug("PasswordAge: " + Convert.ToBoolean((int)currentUser &amp; UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD).ToString()); } if (Convert.ToBoolean((int)currentUser &amp; UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD)) { Logger.Debug("Password Age: check result: fail "); return CheckResult.Fail; } Logger.Debug("Password Age: check result: pass "); return CheckResult.Pass; } catch (Exception ex) { Logger.LogException(ex, "Error in PasswordAge-&gt;Check()"); return CheckResult.Exception; } } } public static bool isCurrentUserLocalUser() { return Environment.MachineName == Environment.UserDomainName; } </code></pre> <p>Just for clarification, it's not my code so I'm not completely sure what the code owner did.</p> <hr> <p>I'm seeing that there are no responses. I will ask different question. Is there any option to obtain password age or password last set values without be depend on network connection? Is it possible to check it locally? I know this value also exists under "Local security policy" but I didn't find how to get it by code.</p>

    1. COAre you saying you're getting the exception whilst running the code on a workstation on the WiFi guest network? Are you running with a local user account or a domain account?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
