If 2010, then yes, via the ECP, users can perform various self-service activities at will... If 2007, then the option is also there under Options.... Change Password... Also, as I recall, - since each of the above options require that the user is already logged in to their mailbox in order to be able to get to those links... OWA will also prompt a user for a password change in the event that a password has expired, or it's a new user account with the "must change password at next logon" setting applied... So yes, users can change their AD passwords via OWA with *almost* as much flexibility as from a normal login session on a domain joined desktop client....
