                        Interface                       IADsUser::Get
Property Name           Property        Write           or Put


AccountDisabled         Y               Y               -

IsAccountLocked         Y               N               -
                                        Can set only from TRUE to FALSE.

LastLogin               Y               N               get
LastLogoff              Y               N               get
        For the above 2, receive error '5' if values unset,
        that is, the user never logged in or out.

PasswordExpirationDate  Y               N               -
MinPasswordLength       Y               N               get

PasswordHistoryLength   N               N               get
PasswordExpired         N               Y               get/put
        Equivalent to the 'must change password at next login' User
        Manager setting.
