I need to change user's passwords remotely for Linux devices. I was recommended using plink for achieving the same, but I am facing little issue while resetting the passwords. Sharing the command using which I change password via cmd (working): echo 'y' | plink.exe admin@X.X.X.X -pw Old-password -no-antispoof "echo -e 'Old-password\nNew-password\nNew-password'|(passwd)" > passwdChange.log When I integrated it with AutoIT, I embedded the above command in a batch file as below. @echo off echo 'y' | plink.exe %1@%2 -pw %3 -no-antispoof "echo -e '%3\n%4\n%4'|(passwd)" > passwdChange.log When I try to execute the above batch file via AutoIT Run/ShellExecute command it doesn't work properly (doesn't change password). $DOS = Run(@ComSpec & " /c "&@ScriptDir &"\chpasswd.bat "&$sUser&" "&$sIP&" "&$sOldPwd&" "&$pwd, "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD) Where I am going & what changes I need to make in order for this to work Thank you in advance.

I'm looking at a situation where a client has an application deployed via RemoteApp, no full RDP desktop or web interface available. As the RemoteApp is published on a network share, it is invoked via a batch file, launched via a published .rdp file. I've run into an issue with being able to allow users to change their own passwords. I don't want to have to deal with changing users passwords, or knowing what they are; if I expire or require a password change, the users are simply locked out, there is no opportunity for them to change their password themselves. Ideally, I'd like to write or find a command line utility I could insert into the batch file that launches the remote app to address this deficiency. I've poked around in the ActiveDirectory UDF, which seems to be a great tool, but without a function written for the use case where the password change is desired to be forced upon the current user ( who is NOT an admin). Note: net user / domain requires admin rights. pspasswd, while awesome, also requires admin rights. Does anyone have a UDF or Function utility that they use to allow a user to change their own domain password from the command line? I've seen a couple of powershell examples, but I'd love to be able to compile or drop in a command line oriented passwd.exe utility that would work similarly to the *nix equivalent. The pspasswd sysinternals utility does not seem to have this use case in mind -- in my tests you have to be an admin to change a password.
