Windows Change Password Screen

[PeterF]

Since Ctl Alt Del can not be scripted, does anyone know the utility (exe, cpl, etc) to activate the Windows Security Window (ctl, alt, del) in order to get into the change password screens? Thank You. PeterF

On XP that just logs the user off and IIRC on 2K that has no effect at all.

Whaddya need the GUI for?

$RetCode = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c net user " $user_name  $new_password)
If $RetCode = 0 Then
     MsgBox(64, "Success", "Successfully changed password on user: " & $user_name)
Else
     MsgBox(16, "Failed", "ErrorLevel " & $RetCode & " returned changing password on user: " & $user_name)
EndIf

If you are an admin, you can do this to the domain account by adding '/domain'.

Cheers!

I want to streamline the Change Password process for users needing to change both Novell and MS-Domain passowrds. It can be confusing and sometimes only the novell Password changes and the user doesn't realize it. You get the Change Passwordbutton through the Security window when you press Ctl Alt Del. Net User will only do the MS-Passwords. Same with the Control Pannel Users Screens. Thanks

Please use function _AD_GetPasswordInfo to get all information about a users password. The function returns an array and element 9 contains the date/time when the password expires. You can use _DateDiff to calculate how many days before the password will expire.

Please see the example script _AD_GetPasswordInfo.au3 or the help file _AD_GetPasswordInfo.htm

Run Example: _AD_GetPasswordInfo

Error:

Include\AD.au3 (2989) : ==> Incorrect number of parameters in function call.:

$aAD_PwdInfo[10] = _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($sAD_Temp2, 1)

$aAD_PwdInfo[10] = ^ ERROR

And Run Example:

Example 1

; Queries the sAMACccountName and the password and tries to change the password.

User domain : myuser

Change pass errror box msg :

"return code - 2147352567 form Active Direc..."

Thanks Water

$aAD_PwdInfo[10] = _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($sAD_Temp2, 1)

$aAD_PwdInfo[10] = ^ ERROR

You need at least Autoit version 3.3.6.0 because there is a bug in previous versions of _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr.

Are you sure you have the permission needed to change the password of a user? Edited September 16, 2011 by water

Are you sure you have the permission needed to change the password of a user?

I haven't permission change password user. My user is one user domain,i can change my user domain with Ctl+ Atl + Del, and Change Password

[water]

I don't think the COM interface makes a difference between your userid and the id of another user you want to change. So if you do not have the permission to change passwords you can't even change your own.

To be 100% sure I will have to investigate the subject.
