NetUserChangePassword
The NetUserChangePassword function changes a user's password for a specified network server or domain.
Security Requirements
A server or domain can be configured to require a user to log on before
changing the password on a user account. In that case, only members of the
Administrators or Account Operators local group or the user himself can change the
password for a user account. If logging on is not required, the user can change the
password for any user account, as long as the user knows the current password.
NET_API_STATUS NetUserChangePassword(
LPWSTR domainname,
|
| LPWSTR username,
|
| LPWSTR oldpassword,
|
| LPWSTR newpassword
|
| );

remote server or domain. The NetUserChangePassword function changes the user's password on that remote server or domain.
A value of NULL in the domainname parameter specifies the logon domain of the caller.
username

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
