Hello,
I would like to ask you for help with passwords synchronization.
I have a computer running Windows Server 2003 and around 10 workstations connecting to it. All this works in workgroup and not in Active Directory mode.
Most of the workstations have XP Home, some of them Win 7 Home, therefore there is no possibility to go with AD.
Some of the users use admin accounts (e.g. CEO) and some of them limited.
Currently it works a way, the user tells me the new password, I change it on his computer + on the server, so he is able to access the shared drives. The users have no idea about remote desktop connection and are not working or connecting this way.
I would need to achieve, that the user is forced after some time to change the password (I googled a bit and it seems this can be done via some changes in the registry in the XP Home computers), however have no idea if there is a way, how the new password is automatically set also on the server. I want to avoid situation, when user accesses shared folder and is prompted for password and have no idea if to enter the "old" or the changed one. Can this be done e.g. via batch file which is run just in case when user changes the "local" password and prompts or copies it also to the server?
Is there any way to do this please?
Thank you.
Marian
