I would like recommendations for a utility that will allow domain users to change their password via a web page (in a web hosting environment). Also, what security issues accompany your suggestion(s)? Windows 2000 Server/IIS 5 Thanks!

Not technically a "utility," but you can accomplish this task using Active Directory Services Interface (ADSI) implemented on an Active Server Page. Deployed on a secure web site (SSL) the security implications are associative with any other secureonline activity.

For example, user visits secure site, logs in with current username and password, submits change. Server side script processes change.

You mention that you're in a web hosting environment, so if you have VBScript/ASP developers the ADSI solution isn't much of a stretch.

Cheers,
