Manage domain user remotely

Hi There,

I am new to servers. I have a situation where one of our domain users
loacted in other city. I had built his machine and his password is about to
expire for the domain account. How can he reset his password remotely over
the vpn? Also, the windows does not pop up the window that notifies user
for password expiry.

Please help.

Thanks
Vivek

Assuming this is NT the client must find the PDC of the
domain across the VPN link. The easiest way to get this
to work is to have the remote machine point towards a
local (local to the PDC) name server e.g., WINS.

the client is XP and the server is 2000 SBS. What is PDC?

Thanks

In that case it's a DNS issue. The XP client must still find
the SBS server in order to make the password change.
PDC is specific to NT 4.0 the Primary Domain Controller
is created during domain installation and holds the only
modifiable copy of the SAM database.. In W2k or higher
the change can be made by contacting any DC of the
domain.

Make sure the XP client is using the address of the SBS for DNS.

It is using the SBS IP. The problem now is if the domain user changes the
password while he is on VPN the password gets changed but cannot log on to
PC.
