I have found several examples, most based on the examples on the MS site. Thing is, they all depend on knowing the Distinguished Name of the user, and the poor old receptionist wont have a clue what that is. Can anyone help me with a script that will change the password of a user just knowing the username of the user ? At the least I'm after some code to find the DN of a user from their username, and I can then use that with the code I already have (I think).
