Hi

I am trying to change the password of an User in an Active Directory using the samba client tools (samba 3.0.7).

A normal user can change the password using
smbpasswd -r ADSERVERNAME

But now a user forgetts his password, and I want to change it as an user "ADMINUSER",
who has admin rights in the domain.


Is  there a command, weher I can do something like this:
smbpasswd -r ADSERVERNAME USERNAME -U ADMINUSER

The command should print for the ADMINPASSWD of ADMINUSER and for the new passwd of USERNAME,
who's passwd has to be reset.



net -S ADSERVERNAME -U ADMINUSER rap password USERNAME "" newpass

Does nor work to

If I do an ethereal,
the answer of ADSERVERNAME is
SAMOEMCHANGEPASSWORD (214)
Status: the specified password is invalid (86)

Is it possible to change a userpasswd as admin with the client tools without knowing the old password

Thank you very much
