Change domain password from computer not member in domain

[Daniel Persson]

Hi,



We have users that have a domain account but their computers are not member
in any domain. Our domain policy is that every account should change their
password every 3 month. How could these users change their password
themselves?



The server/domain is Windows 2003 and the clients are using Windows XP with
SP2.



Regards Daniel

Go to control Panel, user accounts, user accounts, click on the user name and
change password. If their computers aren't part of a domain then it should
allow them to change their passwords this way.

Do they access anything that requires their context such as Exchange or an
intranet site? If so, exchange will want a new password, and you can use
IIS to do what you want if you have an intranet site (IISADMINPWD).

Otherwise you're going to need to write a script that checks when the
password is going to expire and e-mails users and provides them with access
to an IIS server with IISADMINPWD.
