How to change password for a domain user?

[Komerad]

Hi, the only way I know to do this is :

Alt+ctrl+del, change password...

Now as alt+ctrl+del is a problem I need to find another way...

I do not have admin rights on the box.

The domain is not the standard domain so I do need to change to domain field aswel.

Asking the user to press alt+ctrl+del himself is not done as the password needs to be changed 16 times hences why i want to automate it.

Is there any way to do this?

Hi.

[How to change User Password for Domain User?]

In a CMD box type "net user ?"

NET USER <username> <passwd> /DOMAIN

I don't have a domain environment here, so check out if "/DOMAIN" is a switch or the domain name, and if "<username>" will have to be replaced by the username or e.g. by yourdomain\username

Regards, Rudi.

You could also invoke the NetUserChangePassword function inside netapi32.dll

Here is a COM version on how this can be done:

; Init objects
$oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "MyErrFunc"); Install a custom error handler
;
$Password = "test"
$objUser = ObjGet("WinNT://" & @LogonDomain & "/" & @UserName)
; Read in lines of text until the EOF is reached
$objUser.SetPassword($Password)
$objUser.SetInfo
;
;
; This is my custom error handler
Func MyErrFunc()
    $HexNumber = Hex($oMyError.number, 8)
    ConsoleWrite("We intercepted a COM Error !" & @CRLF & _
            "Number is: " & $HexNumber & @CRLF & _
            "Linenbr is: " & $oMyError.scriptline & @CRLF & _
            "Description is: " & $oMyError.description & @CRLF & _
            "Windescription is: " & $oMyError.windescription)
    SetError(1); something to check for when this function returns
EndFunc  ;==>MyErrFunc

The 'NET USER' is not realy an option as only admins can use it.

============================

This : NetUserChangePassword function inside netapi32.dll I need to check.

============================

Here is a COM version on how this can be done:

Your script works but :

The user/password/domain are not the ones that the boxes use. Basicly this script i need is ment to change your own pasword on another domain.

Example :

On computer A that is connected with domain A with user A using password A

I want to be able to change : The password for user B on domain B

Using the alt+ctrl+del it also asks for the old password. Wich i think will always be needed as I (user A on computer A) am not admin. I do know password of user B on domain B.

Can it be modified with SetUser, SetDomain old pass?
