How to change password with"NET USE....PSWD /USER"

[Peter McK]

I use the command
"net use t: \\123.123.123.123\homedir
password /user:verifydomain\myuserid"
to map a network drive. The password is forced to expire
periodically but due to circumstances now I can't change
it from windows I can only do it from the command line. Is
there a way to change it from the NET USE command ?

No.

If you can get to the Change Password dialog via alt-cntrl-del,
at any uplevel client no matter what account is logged in, then
you can change the password of the account on the remote domain
(you just need to say what domain in the domain box).
