[Samba] change Active Directory Password with client tools (smbpasswd, net arp) ?
Hi I am trying to change the password of an User in an Active Directory using the samba client tools (samba 3.0.7). A normal user can change the password using smbpasswd -r ADSERVERNAME But now a user forgetts his password, and I want to change it as an user "ADMINUSER", who has admin rights in the domain. Is there a command, weher I can do something like this: smbpasswd -r ADSERVERNAME USERNAME -U ADMINUSER The command should print for the ADMINPASSWD of ADMINUSER and for the new passwd of USERNAME, who's passwd has to be reset. net -S ADSERVERNAME -U ADMINUSER rap password USERNAME "" newpass Does nor work to If I do an ethereal, the answer of ADSERVERNAME is SAMOEMCHANGEPASSWORD (214) Status: the specified password is invalid (86) Is it possible to change a userpasswd as admin with the client tools without knowing the old password Thank you very much -- _________________________________________________________________ Dr. Hansjoerg Maurer | LAN- & System-Manager | Deutsches Zentrum | DLR Oberpfaffenhofen f.
