We then educate the user that the only way to correctly change the pw is to be logged into the VPN and the use ctrl+alt+del and change pw. ********************** Charlie Kaiser W2K3 MCSA/MCSE/Security, CCNA Systems Engineer Essex Credit / Brickwalk 510 595 5083 ********************** > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Etts, Russell > Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 8:11 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [ActiveDir] Changing network password for remote user > > Hi all > > I have a problem that I can't seem to figure out. > > We have a remote user who is using a laptop w/ Windows XP SP2.
