Chaning Password through Outlook

[Christos Kritikos]

Hello

I am using Outlook on a computer that is not part of the
Exchange domain. Whenever I start Outlook I am prompted
for username/password and once I put them Outlook starts
without any problem.

The same pop-up window (for the credentials) has a button
to "change password". However I seem unable to change it
(I get error message - "Password could not be changed.
Please check the information and try again"). Is this a
known problem/bug? I get the same problem on both Outlook
2000 and Outlook XP.

thanks
christos

Is the change password prompt coming when you try to log into Exchange on
the non-domain computer? Do you still have access to the Exchange server?
If you are not logging into the domain and the password change prompt
appears, ignore it and remove yourself from the domain.

Hi Milly,

yes I have full access to the Exchange server. When I
start Outlook I get a pop-up window that asks for
credentials (username, password, domain). The same pop-up
has a button to "Change Password". This functionality
doesn't work. So the problem is not that I am prompted for
a new password but that I *want* to change the password
and I cannot. Is there any way I can bypass this? Do you
know of any other way I can change the password without
being part of the domain? OWA 2000 used to have an option
to change password but I think this doesn't work either
and regardless I cannot find such an option in OWA 2003
(this is what we have now).

thanks
christos

Are you saying that you are not a part of the domain anymore? Can you log
on if you are at the office?

The computers are NOT part of the domain. They never were.
What happened is that we have a bunch of users that came
with legacy laptop configurations from another company.
They are still configured to login to *that* domain. It
will take a while to change them over to our domain so
until this happens we just configured their Outlook for
Exchange and would like to find a way for them to change
their passwords. I hope this makes it a bit more clear.

thanks for the continuing help

How do you change a domain password when you are not a part of the domain
and are not logged onto the domain?
