I've got a really simple bit of VB6 code to add a user to Active Directory
via IADs.

Set objContainer = GetObject(LDAP://OU=lfkjaskl,DC=fsadfklñ,DC=com)
Set objUser = objContainer.Create("user","testuser1")
objUser.put "sAMAccountName", "testuser"
objUser.put "userPrincipalName", test.user@fsadfklñ.com
objUser.put "userPassword", "password"
objUser.SetInfo

This code persistently returns

error -2147016651 (80072035)
Automation Error
The server is unwilling to process the request.

The only thing that I can find is that apparently there's a violation of the
server's policies regarding new users, but the event log on the server
doesn't show anything. Does anyone know how I can programatically find out
*why* the server is uwilling to cooperate?

You need to prefix the user name with a cn= !!

Set objUser = objContainer.Create("user","cn=testuser1")

objUser.SetInfo

This code persistently returns (just in the line ---> objUser.SetInfo).

I don't know, but shouldn't this be more like this:

objUser.put "userPrincipalName", "test.user@fsadfklñ.com"

Try setting the password AFTER you create the account with the setinfo.

Yes, there must be a setinfo before you attempt password change, then with
password change you do another setinfo.
This is why it wont run.

If you use setpassword method you shouldn't have to do a setinfo. Though you
will want to do a setinfo to correct the useraccount flags after the account
is created.
