Something that (on first glance) looks reasonable if valid/happens on
the network:

Assuming Exchange RPC interfaces return MAPI_E_PASSWORD_EXPIRED when the
password expires, we can probably update libmapiadmin to have a
"password update" function we can add to openchange tools.

I need to have a closer look at the SAMR interface - see if there is
already a function doing this and which we can use for our libmapiadmin
wrapper.

Cheers,
Julien.
