I need to build a user that is enabled to change other users password for use
of a custom applicazion we are writing. Obviously, i would like these user
the have very little privileges besides the required one.

We have a Windows Server 2003 Active Directory enviroment.

Any suggestions?
thx

Just happened to think... are you wanting a way to change the Windows
passwords, or passwords that you create specifically for this custom
application? If Windows passwords, then follow my suggestion. If instead
you're creating your own user account database for this application, then
you'll have to build your password change mechanism.

No, we want to use Windows Accounts so that we can optimize User Account
management. Thank you for your help.
