I want users to be able to change their password.
I use seemless apps. Anyone any ideas how I can publish an app that will allow change of password ? I don't want to give then NFUSE internally.

I have Win2K3.

Reason is the remote users are on SBS and therfore I cannot set up trusts and their passwords change every so often.

OK downloaded and had a look, Looks like the wasps pyjama's.

Coupla points,

1) Not sure users wouldn't be scared of using/forgetting that lot, but am sure I could figure out how to use it.

2) Do you use it, having searched for Documentation and found a lot of hacking type sites I am wary, I would prefer a recomendation.

You say you don't want to give them NFuse internally, but for the remote users, using NFuse is no problem?
(NFuse has excellent change password features)

Yes I know but they havce VPN set up and are coming in through that seemlessly therfore they get an icon on the desktop and don't need to go to a web site. It's just another click they have to do. What I meant by internally was on the VPN WAN. Users at home/ remoter sites come in through NFUSE. I could go full NFUSE but I would rather they launch from the desktop.

Looks like I am going to have to write a program to do this.
I tried to use kix and sndkeys alt ctrl del but it just returned 0 so that was a remarkable failure.
I would like to use Java anyone got any bright ideas as to how to access the SAM ?

Cheers

You say you don't want them to have to go to a website for Nfuse. What about PN agent?
 
Yep I had a thought about that but PN full is the only real way to do it.

I found a DOS program called passwd that did the trick, I had to do a bit of batch programming to windowsify it a bit but it does the trick.
Anyone wnating to know I will post here.

Cheers
Scott
