I needed to add the IP address of the PDC to the WINS tab in the user's TCP/IP connection settings for it to be able to resolve the Primary domain controller to change the password (at least, that's what I'm assuming the problem was). Once I added the PDC's IP address to the WINS tab I could change passwords no problem. However, we currently assign all IP addresses manually (no DHCP server). Is there any way (I'm guessing not) I can accomplish this without having to physically change the network connection settings on hundreds of client PCs manually? On a side note, I tried adding the BDC's IP address to the WINS tab first and was unsuccessful... which I think is expected. Again, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!" Would your suggestion address this? I know that I initially had it set up that way since I was using the idealx scripts...
