Hello,
We use Microsoft Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2000. I recently changed a handful of users so that they no long had non-expiring passwords. These users work remotely and use Outlook 2003 configured to user RPC over HTTP so that they don't have to use VPN, etc. The users are unable to change their passwords on their own. They get an error that the password cannot be changed and that they need to log on to the domain to change it.

My question is this: By design, are you not supposed to be able to change your Active Directory password while using Microsoft Outlook 2003 over HTTP, or is there anything at all that I can do to make this work?

Hi jjondle,
Well we cannot change a password for active directory within outlook and you need to be logged on to domain to change the password?
Regards.

You can enable outlook webmail so that they can change their domain password. This is what we do when requiring password changes:

Not exactly what you wanted, to be able to do it via outlook, but it does at least provide easy off-site access to change their domain password.
