Hello im trying to create users in the AD with my code, i have a standard code that creates a user, but i would like to add some things such as SamAccountName + firstname + Lastname, all the code does now is to create a user called "TESTUSER" without any samaccount/passowrod etc

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.DirectoryServices;


namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {


            string ADFullPath = "LDAP://192.168.0.10/OU=T2,OU=root,DC=admin,DC=domain,DC=com";
            DirectoryEntry ouEntry = new DirectoryEntry(ADFullPath, "admin", "passw0rd", AuthenticationTypes.Secure); 


            for (int i = 0; i < 1; i++)
            {
                try
                {
                    DirectoryEntry childEntry = ouEntry.Children.Add("CN=TESTUSER" + i, "user");
                    childEntry.CommitChanges();
                    ouEntry.CommitChanges();
                    childEntry.Invoke("SetPassword", new object[] { "password22" });
                    childEntry.CommitChanges();
                    
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {

Have you bothered to do any substantial research? There are hundreds of articles on how to do this in various forms.
There are even a few on this site.

Infact this one:

Howto: (Almost) Everything In Active Directory via C#[^]

Comes top of a Google search for "c# active directy user creation" (Yes I even spelt directory wrong and it found it).

It should tell you everything you need to know.

I have actually read just that article, but as many who tries it, some things there doesn't work. For example the section called "create_user.cs:"
It's supposed to create a AD user but instead it generates alot of errors in the console.

So i found this code that i just posted now, which acctually work's but i need to add some features to it that's why i asked =)
