Chaning Open Directory Passwords

[Vuong]

How do XP clients authenticated against an OpenDirectory OS X Server 10.4.8 configured as a PDC.. change their Open Directory password. The workstations have successfully joined the OSX Samba Domain, hence authenicated with their Open Directory password, but even flagging the account “user must change password” does not prompt an XP client to change their password.

Doing the ctrl-alt-del and hitting the “change Password” does not work.

Thanks!

You could have them download putty, ssh into the server (or another Mac configured to accept LDAP logins) and have them change their password that way. It’s cheating, but… It’s quick and dirty.
