Hello I am new to Active Directory on premise and my problem is to create user using API. I searched about this, but did not found any documentation. One thing i found is AD Connect but by documentation didn't get any clue. Can any one please let me know is this possible or i'm doing any mistake?

Yes, you can! The link provided by rickvdbosch will get you far.

  1. First, you need to add a using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement; statement to your file and possibly a reference to the System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement assembly.

  2. You can connect to AD using something like this:

    var username = "your username"; var password = "your password"; var domain = "your domain"; var ctx = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, domain, username, password);

  3. Then perform the operations using the PrincipalContext object. (There's a good example in the link that rickvdbosch gave.)
