I have a user that is VPNing to our office. They are using XP home edition.

With XP Professional, I had them ctrl+alt+del and select change password and
type in our server's name to change their password. With XP Home, when they
ctrl+alt+del they don't have the option to change password. How can I get
them to be able to change their password on our server remotely with XP
Home?

Unless I overlook something, XP Home always only uses the Guest
account to access shares. XP Home is just not meant to be used
in company networks.

Perhaps you can allow Guest access?
