What I have done is on the XP pro workstation (non domain member) I press ctrl-alt-del then change password then I select: User name: (test user on PDC) log on to: (manually enter netbios name of the PDC) old password: xxxxxx new password: xxxxxx confirm new password: xxxxxx and the password changes on the PDC. I would like to be able to do the same with the PDC instead of being a windows box, I would like it to be samba. So far my attempts have failed and was wondering if anyone has achieved this. > > > As a test I have setup a windows domain with a share.
