Re: How to iew Passwords?

This is correct. You are screwed. AD doesn't allow you to view passwords.

It actually doesn't even store them directly, it stores a one way hash, so
it couldn't tell you the plaintext password if it wanted to. It doesn't
know it.

If you need to sync between AD and another app, you should look into one of
the third party password sync apps like psynch or MIIS.

I said I DON'T need to change or modify it. Just view.

Let me give you an example:

Customer: "Hi my name is Bob. I forgot my password, can you tell me what
it
is?"

Me: "Nope, sorry. You're screwed."
