I would do it with Quest Active Directory PowerShell cmdlets. Which is easiest way. Code SnippetSet-QADUser Display Name -UserPassword Password Quest PowerShell Commands for Active Directory

Hey Henrik, I am sure you have found a ton of ways to do this but try this way it is a different way of doing it.. I would read up on the options to understand but you will get it. Using a command line Open Command Prompt. Type: dsmod userUserDN-pwdNewPassword If you want to require the user to change this password at the next logon process, Type: dsmod userUserDN-mustchpwd {yes|no} dsmod user /? To get some ideas To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Account Operators group, Domain Admins group, or the Enterprise Admins group in Active Directory, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure. For more information, see Default local groups, Default groups, and Using Run as. To open a command prompt, click Start, point to All programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command prompt. If a password is not assigned, then the first time the user tries to log on (using a blank password), a logon message will appear that says "You are required to change your password at first logon" and after user has changed the password, the logon process continues. Services that are authenticated with a user account must be reset if the password for the service's user account is changed. To view the complete syntax for this command, at a command prompt, type: dsmod user /? Good Luck. Ken
