Change the password from command prompt

Ankur Bakliwal

Hi, Can anybody please help me to find out the way to change the password from command prompt. I have mapped a folder of some other server (lets say a) on my pc (lets say b) with different userid (pqr\myUser ) and password. Now i want to change the password of this user (pqr\myUser ) from command prompt. This user belongs from different domain (lets say pqr) and computer b (my pc) is in defferent domain (lets say zzz). i tried NET USER ( c:\>NET USER myUser mynewPWD ) but its not working. Please can anybody suggest me some command like net user.

Thanks, Ankur Bakliwal

That's not a programming question; it is a Systems Admin question.

Who are you, and what have you done with the real John Simmons? We know you've got him. Let him go now before you get hurt.

Good to see a **non-**programming question in the lounge for once...! :) OK - have you tried:

NET USER USERNAME * /domain

There are a few KB articles about this kind of administration from the command line... Try Googling for them... Peace!

I'm curious how you determined this was a programming question. :)

James, I have tried it and found that we cannot change the password of user on different domain with NET USER command. Thanks a lot...

Thanks, Ankur Bakliwal

Have you tried logging on to the domain using a different user (with administrative rights)?
