Error code: 80072035 - Error in setting the password, The server is unwilling to process the request.

Error : Error in setting the password, The server is unwilling to process the request.

Possible Cause : This error occurs directly from AD and it could be due to any of the following conditions,

• An attempt to set a value for an attribute that does not exist
• An attempt to set an incorrect value for an attribute (the value does not adhere to the attribute's syntax).
• If the password complexity, including factors such as password length, permissible characters, or the maximum number of failed login attempts has not been specified.
• Any other operation that the Active Directory server will not allow.

Possible Solution :

This issue can be resolved by verifying the following criterias,

• Verify if the password attributes exist in AD.
• Check if the password fits the password policy.
• Check if there are any issues in establishing connection to AD.
