Guest Steve Riley [MSFT] Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Just happened to think... are you wanting a way to change the Windows passwords, or passwords that you create specifically for this custom application? If Windows passwords, then follow my suggestion. If instead you're creating your own user account database for this application, then you'll have to build your password change mechanism. -- Steve Riley steve.riley@microsoft.com http://blogs.technet.com/steriley http://www.protectyourwindowsnetwork.com "Steve Riley [MSFT]" <steve.riley@microsoft.com> wrote in message news:58F182E3-5F6D-4128-90D1-BC13790E78D9@microsoft.com...<span style="color:blue"> > The AD delegation of control wizard will help you here. > > http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...ep/ctrlwiz.mspx > > > -- > Steve Riley > steve.riley@microsoft.com > http://blogs.technet.com/steriley > http://www.protectyourwindowsnetwork.com > > > > "Andrea Casini" <AndreaCasini@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:D6207C76-7746-41C6-8162-676E96C71667@microsoft.com...<span style="color:green"> >> I need to build a user that is enabled to change other users password for >> use >> of a custom applicazion we are writing.

Guest Andrea Casini Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 No, we want to use Windows Accounts so that we can optimize User Account management. Thank you for your help.
