I remember in NT 4.0 you could create a group that had
only rights to unlock or reset a users password in the
user administration screen. Is there the same kind of
program or permissions in Windows 2000 AD. I am finding
that the support center is creating users accounts without
prior authorization when they are only supposed to be
using it for locked accounts or password changes.
