The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

vbs coding help to change domain user password when offsite

Asked by Bowen1973 in VB Script

Tags: vbs, domain user, password, script

Hi,

i have been working on a script to change a domain users password when they are offsite, then restart the comp if that user is logged in...

i.e.... script is ran, downloads user list off the net, if users is on laptop it renames password, if user is logged in it restarts laptop..

it all works apart from the password...

i have tried:

strComputer = "."
strSetPassword = "password" 'change this to required password
Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & strNextLine)
objUser.SetPassword(strSetPassword)

and also :

strSetPassword = "password" 'change this to required password
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://cn="& strNextLine",dc=ourdomain,dc=com")
objUser.SetPassword(strSetPassword)

but neither seem to be working... any help please??
