Hello, I'm quite new to the Samba world, so may be my question was stupid or difficult to understand or whatever. Another try - the question is:
Can I use any Samba tool to: - bind to an NT PDC as administrator - set the password of another user to a new value (without knowing the old value) In LDAP terms (this is the topic I know ...) it would be: ldapmodify -D "cn=administrator,dc=company,dc=com" -w secret -h pdc_host -p 389 dn: uid=123,dc=company,dc=com changetype: modify replace: userPassword userPassword: newpassword Any hint is appreciated. Thanks, Jochen. > Hello, > I'd like to do the following: > > We have a NT domain, built as usually (PDC, BDC). > Now we want to set passwords of normal NT user accounts - > but from outside the windows world.
