Shortcut to change password dialog

[rvaas]

Hi everybody,
I want to create a shortcut to open the change password dialog for the
current user. The users can´t use Ctrl-Alt-Del because they only connect via
Terminal Server - and they asked whether they could change their passwords
whenever they want (it works when the password expires, but they want to
control when they change it).
Is there a way to open that dialog via explorer with command line options or
WMI call (maybe via VBS) to open that dialog?

Kind regards,
Rudi

No need for a shortcut - get the users to press Ctrl+Alt+End while
on the Terminal Server.

If you still insist on using an alternative method to change the password
then you can embed the following command into a batch file:

net user %UserName% NewPassword /domain

Hi Pegasus (MVP),
thank you for your quick response, when I execute your batch command I
receive a - request will be processed by a domain controller - system error 5.
Hitting ctrl-alt-del does not work for them as they are logged into their
local machine with accounts from a different and unknown domain. And they
should be able to change their accounts in our domain, which is used to log
on to Terminal Server.

Kind regards,
Rudi

I did not write "Ctrl+Alt+Del" - I wrote "Ctrl+Alt+End"!
