Can Windows NT passwords be managed at Domain level without AD Client extensions?
Author: OSU-admin // Category: WindowsCan you manage and reset Windows NT passwords on a domain that do not have the Client extensions for Active Directory installed?
As I understand it, windows 2000+ computers contact any domain controller to change passwords. Since Windows NT is unable to talk to the domain controllers because it doesnt have the client extensions program, how do you change a windows NT password at the domain level?
Are you speaking generally when you say Windows NT, or do you literally mean NT Workstation 4.0? Hopefully you are using Windows 2000 or XP…..if so then you need Microsoft Administrative Tools installed on your machine to access Active Directory. This is assuming that you want to make changed remotely (not in front of the server).
