Change Windows Password from RTC client

alsol

Hi,

Maybe a stupid question, but is it possible to change the Windows password when using the RTC with a different AD login than the local domain login? The problem is, we have a new NAV server with its own domain and we set an initial password for each user. But there is no possibility to change the password in RTC directly. So we would need to predefine the logins for each user and they will never be able to change it.

Any ideas?

Best regards,
Felix

Maybe you can invoke a Powershell script to change the AD password? See http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscripting ... shell.aspx for an example.

I think you may use Windows Password Key, i solved that problem by using this.

Changing Windows password, you do through Windows (CTRL+SHIFT+DEL=> Change password).

If you mean you are logged in as domain1/userX and want to use the RTC as domain2/userY, you must run the rtc-client using the RUNAS DOS-command.

The regular change password function (wasn't it CTRL+ALT+DEL) does not work because the user works on the local domain and run the RTC over WAN with another domain.

How do you mean running the RTC client with RUNAS command? As far as I know the RUNAS command does not have an option to change the password. So that would not make any difference. Or is there a syntax I don't know?

This was also my first thought.
Does anything speaks against this?

This should work ways better then runas.

I gave this in case you just wanted to run the RTC client as another user.

If you need to change the password, use powershell as linked by Luc.
