Dim Domain as IADsDomain
'Bind to the known NT Domain object.
'Here MSFT is your domain name.
Set Domain = GetObject("NTDS://MSFT")
'Debug.Print to print the Name, Description etc. to the debug window.
'Here you can use Name property as IADsDomain is derived from IADs.
Debug.Print Domain.Name
Debug.Print Domain.GetDCName
Debug.Print Domain.MinPasswordLength
Debug.Print Domain.MaxPasswordAge
Debug.Print Domain.MaxBadPasswordsAllowed
'Change the MinPasswordLength of the Domain.
Domain.MinPasswordLength = 5
'Call SetInfo to commit the changes to the network.
'This will happen only if you have privileges for this operation.
Domain.SetInfo
'Call GetInfo to get the new values.
Domain.GetInfo
'Display minimum password length.
Debug.Print Domain.MinPasswordLength
