Module Name:

    chngpass.c

Abstract:

    This sample changes the password for an arbitrary user on an arbitrary
    target machine.

    When targetting a domain controller for account update operations,
    be sure to target the primary domain controller for the domain.
    The account settings are replicated by the primary domain controller
    to each backup domain controller as appropriate.  The NetGetDCName()
    Lan Manager API call can be used to get the primary domain controller
    computer name from a domain name.


    Username is argv[1]
    new password is argv[2]
    optional target machine (or domain name) is argv[3]
    optional old password is argv[4].  This allows non-admin password
     changes.

    Note that admin or account operator privilege is required on the
    target machine unless argv[4] is present and represents the correct
    current password.

    NetUserSetInfo() at info-level 1003 is appropriate for administrative
    over-ride of an existing password.

    NetUserChangePassword() allows for an arbitrary user to over-ride
    an existing password providing that the current password is confirmed.
