In my office we have a server (that I own !) running Windows 2000

This server runs Windows 2000 on which I have a user account that
requires changing the password every 30 days.
When I want to access the server (simply to copy data onto the
drive), I can do so with my Mac as long as I update the password
using one of the "locked down" workstations every 30 days.
The question is, is there any software that I can install on the
Mac that will enable me to change the password every 30 days
without using one of the workstations ?
I was considering buying Macs to totally replace the Windows
workstations however this appears a major hurdle. Can anybody lead
me in the right direction ?
You could probably use Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (comes as
part of Microsoft Office). the only problem is that the Windows box
would have to be set up to accept remote connections of this sort.
Another IT department roadblock, I suspect.
