I don't know-that looks pretty simple. Easier than Michael's method, I think!

We're implementing some new policies now, and in the near future users will need to be able to change their own passwords. I feel sure there's a way for me to enable this capability without having to launch ADUC and bring up each user's account individually. Could one of you command line commandos give me a point in the right direction?
