Hi Johan,

Thanks for posting in our newsgroup.

From your description, I know that you need to implement a script so users
canchangetheir passwords online. If that not right, please don't hesitate
to let me know.

I researched and find thecommand"netuserusernamepassword" can do so.
The administrator can run thecommandsuccessfully. However, when common
users run thecommand, there is a error message "Theusername could not be
found". We must run as administrator first to run thecommand. It's not
recommended to giveusertoo much privilege only tochangepasswordfor
security concern. You canchangepasswordin OWA as Lanwench suggested.

If you stick to write a script to accomplish this task, a suggestion is to
open a new thread in our Microsoft.public.msdn newsgroup. Thanks for your
understanding.

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best regards,

Robert Li(MSFT)
