How to change Windows server 2003 Domain User password?

[Guest]

Hello,
I am using Windows Xp pro SP2 as a client to connect to Windows Server 2003
domain. i also have windows 98 machines as clients in same domain.
While i have setup domain on win 98 machines so every time while logging
they ask for domain id and pass, i haven't done so on xp machines because
they were taking too long to log on and being used by multiple users it
created too many users.
Now what i have done is to put all the computers on same work group (so as
to communicate in lan), and winxp machines have shortcut to server's hard
disk, so when ever i try to access files on the domain server it asks for the
password then and it gives me access. Do you have a better way to do this?
ALSO i have security policy which asks the domain users to change password
every 15 days. while win 98 users get a dialog that password is expired and
gives a option to change it, Winxp users don't get any notification and no
option to change password. how do i do this in winxp and change password?
Please Help.

Hi - see my reply to your identical post in m.p.windowsxp.security-admin.
Please don't multipost - if you need to post to multiple groups, it's best
to crosspost instead, by posting a single message to a handful of relevant
groups (separate the NG names with commas) so that everyone can follow the
thread. Thanks
