Shawn,
I took this great User Manager script and modified it to allow non-admins to use it effectively (Only change password and unlock account can be manipluated, though the rest can be seen). If you are an administrator (specifically a member of Domain Admins) then all options are opened up to you. I also added some error-checking in case you try to make a change that you are not allowed to: it informs you that the procedure failed. Along with a few cosmetic changes, this is a KiX'n script. The only problem I've seen so far is that Bad Logins never gets reported. It appears to never return a value. Our policy is set to lock accounts after 3 failed attempts. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm going to write a rather involved script to manage every aspect of a Windows 2000 domain possible through ADSI (that I need to do). But before I begin I just wanted to inquire if this has been done before. I've done some extensive searching through the board and have found bits and pieces, but nothing comprehensive. Just wondered if anyone was aware of any such script.
BTW, if anyone is curious about this User Manager script, let me know and I'll post it. Just didn't want to post the code if no one is interested.
