sorry, but do you know what changes I wish to make. I require access to a number of users accounts. If I reset all their passwords then the phone will ring non stop and Ill have users moaning, which I dont want.
But if you want to know, one program I need to install saves a few small files into their account for security reasons. So the admin account is useless.
as an admin you should be able to store the files in their account profile.
If the app needs to be installed as them then just email 'em and get them to install it.
You should be able to script something to take the pain out of it for them.
They'll moan a lot more if they find out you've been logging on as them, and rightly as well.
An auditor would go absolutley ballistic, if they found out you'd set something up like this as well. After all it's meant to be impossible.

I think I am going to go smash my head against a brick wall.
I cant believe people are being so unhelpful and telling me what I need or dont need. In this case I can only do this by logging on as the users. Our company policy clearly states this to users so there is no problem.
Just take my word for it, I can only do this by logging on as the user.

If your compant policy sates this, then just have everyone email their passwaord to you.
If you are trying to install software on their computer, then you should not need their network password. You should only need their Windows password.
Then again, why can't you automate the process. Write a script so the software is automatically installed the next time they log in.

Q)"If your compant policy sates this, then just have everyone email their passwaord to you."
A) I would do but users take a long time and its the users that are away that are the problem.
Q)"If you are trying to install software on their computer, then you should not need their network password. You should only need their Windows password."
A) ok we only use network accounts and I need their full network access for links and network files.
Q)Then again, why can't you automate the process. Write a script so the software is automatically installed the next time they log in.
A) I cant, otherwise I would and then I wouldnt have posted this question.
I know people are tring to help, in the most unhelpful way, but please, unless you can actually help exptract user passwords from active directory, then please dont post.
There really must be a way while logged on to 2003 as the administrator to pull out passwords and user names. Microsoft cant have plugged all the holes.

You can download a tool called Bozteck VNCScan and it will deploy UltraVNC. This is relevant because UltraVNC has a few key security features that normal VNC does not.
There is a video and a few documents at http://www.vncscan.com/vs/support.htm that shows how to depply UltraVNC with encryption and Windows login authentication.
UltraVNC can also blank the local display and it's performance is much better than SecureVNC.

The answer is maybe. It depends on the GPO. If they are saved in a reversable encryption format it is possible (but this totally violates best practices and opens the end user to identity theft), but if the passwords have not been saved in a reversible encryption format as set out by the GPO then NO YOU CAN'T.
And if you can't repackage or script an install of this app to run at login you shouldn't have the keys to the site.
