Richie19Rich77 Richie19Rich77 Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2002-08-16 Posts: 624 Loc: London, England	Hi I know this must have been do before so I will not spend any time on writing a script for it. What I would like is for out HelpDesk to reset passwords, Un Lockout an Account. We have a standard default password with the change password box on next logon ticked. If any one has a basic script like this, evan if it not the same I can modify it and sort it out. Thanks Richard Farthing 2 X Windows 2000 Server running 1500 Clients

No reason for them to get into AD and start mucking up the system. Thanks

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	ok, let's say (don't know about ad domain. you should test it) default password is "firstLogon". then changing password on commandline is like this: net user username firstLogon /domain setting the flag for user to change password is little bit trickier. I made some years ago a program that does that: www.gwspikval.com/jooel/scripts/ mustikka.exe the program needs to be run on DC. anyway, you can accomplish this with rcmd (reskit tool). there probably is also adsi command for this. could grawl around a little bit... _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	ok, found something. the switch is $UserObj.PasswordExpired = 1 (thanks radimus) this way, they could actually use adsi for this: code: $adsUser = GetObject("LDAP://cn=UserName,ou=someou,ou=myusers,dc=rz,dc=mydomain,dc=de") if @ERROR<>0 ? @SERROR + " (" + @ERROR + ")" shell "%comspec% /c pause" exit 1 endif $adsUser.PasswordExpired = 1 $adsUser.SetInfo $adsUser.SetPassword($password) there is some user query/set script in this post (where I got most of this script too ): http://81.17.37.55/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=13;t=000213#000007 so, all you need to do, is to get the info from the helpdesk user. like: code: "what users properties should be changed? ->" gets $username ? "executing..." hope this helps _________________________ ! download KiXnet
