I need to build a user that is enabled to change other users password for use

of a custom applicazion we are writing. Obviously, i would like these user

the have very little privileges besides the required one.

 

We have a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory enviroment.

 

Any suggestions?

thx

The AD delegation of control wizard will help you here.

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.

No, we want to use Windows Accounts so that we can optimize User Account

management. Thank you for your help.
