Changing password from a Windows XP computer for a Mac managed domain

I've experimented a little with this a did a search but can't seem to find information on it...
We have an Apple Xserve running OS X 10.4 and I am considering using it to manage a Microsoft Windows domain for our Windows PCs. It seems quite capable of doing that.
However, I was trying out changing a user password (user and password are from the Apple Open Directory server) from a Windows PC on another domain using the usual method you would do that: username, domain (actually exists on the Apple), old password, new password, etc. There seemed to be something missing as it didn't work.
Will this only work if the PC is part of the Domain for the username that needs the password changed? You can change passwords across Domains normally if doing this from a Windows PC, in my experience.
I need to be sure that MS Windows users will be able to change their passwords from their PCs before I move any MS Windows computers on to the Apple Server managed Domain.
Anyone have information on this?
Thanks.

nslookup resolves the DNS name when on both the server and the client MS windows PC.
I re-started the Windows service on the server and it now shows in the domain and is accessable through browsing the MS Network "My Network Places". So all of that was probably a tangent.
I've tried the password changing again a few times since but no luck. The server logs seem to show failed authentication for user "admin" but the username I was trying to change the password for was another username. ???

  • Can I transfer my CS5 files from my Windows 7 computer to my Mac Yosemite computer and have them work with CS6 for Mac?

    I am using Dreamweaver CS5 on a Windows 7 laptop.  I would like to change to Dreamweaver CS6 on my Mac running Yosemite.  Can I transfer my CS5 files from the  Windows computer to the Mac and will CS6 be able to work those files on the Mac?  I do not need nor want a subscription account.  Just the stand-alone program for occasional tweeks to my web site.  at www.longwayhome.com.
    It is a realtively simple web site that requires only simple editing from time to time.

    Yes, your files in CS5 are just .html, .css, .php and .js files, there's nothing that makes them "CS5 versions" of those file types.
    You can do it a couple different ways, but the easiest would be to copy the folder being used as the root directory (and all of it's contents) from one machine to the other, then on the new machine, simply set up a new site definition, using that newly copied folder as the local root.
    If you want, you can export your site settings (FTP and whatnot) on the old machine...
    Go to Site > Manage Site> click the site you want > Export
    Copy the resulting .ste file along with the local root folder to the new machine
    On the new machine go to Site > Manage Sites > import to bring in the .ste
    Relink that new site to the newly copied root folder

  • Oracle Database XE - apex on Windows 7 - Problem with Connection from another Windows 7 Computer

    Hello,
    I started with Oracle Database XE 11g, with apex, did the upgrade to Apex 4.2.6 and started in developing a small Application.
    I wanted to Connect to my Computer A (with Database runing on it) from another Windows 7 Computer B.
    So I put in in Firefox: //A:8080/apex but I only received a timeout.
    Of course on both Computers there is a windows-Firewall running, so I stopped on both Systems the Firewall, but its the same still.
    In the windows explorer running on Computer B , I can see the data of Computer A and both Computers are in the same home-net-group. (sorry for my poor english).
    Is there anyone who cann tell me how to get the Connection running ?
    Maybe I didn't see the info about this in the manuals, if it is there, please give me a hint.
    many thanks

    How do I move Elements 8 projects (slide shows) from a Windows XP computer to new Windows 7 computer that also has Elements 8 on it so that the slides shows will work (Elements 8 works well on the Windows 7 computer & I have done several new slide show projects on it)?    I tried backup & restore without success.  I have also found the .psess files and copied them to the catalog in the new computer but when the sides shows are opened none of the images or music is there.  Only the text that I entered shows.  I have even tried to replicate the file paths from the XP computer to the new computer to see if that will help.

    UPDATE:  By a stroke of luck I happened to find a catalog link (a PSE8D file) in the 'My Catalog' file where the imported data was stored.  When I clicked on it to investigate what is was 'magically' all of my transferred projects appeared in Organizer.  Upon further investigation I found that the projects transferred from my XP computer were stored in a hidden catalog that had to be accessed through the Custom Location option in Catalog Manager (accessed by clicking File then Catalog then Custom Location).  No Windows or Elements search revealed this fact.  I am appreciative that I just got lucky.  The Adode/Photoshop company was absolutely of no help.  If fact to me their structure is designed to avoid contact with their customers unless you're buying a new product.  Their products have many good features (even though user unfriendly) and it's a shame they don't value their customers more once the sale is completed. 
    Bottom line:  All of the projects (sideshows) have been recovered and work in my new Windows 7 computer.  I hope my experience helps others.

    My Macbook browser is not compatible with a business website I must use for work.  Is there a Windows compatible browser for my Mac?

    If the site has been optimised for IE (which is non-standards compliant), the best you can try is to spoof IE from Safari.
    I'm using an earlier version of Safari than you, so I hope Allan or someone will correct me if the procedure is different.
    First, go to Safari Preferences and enable the developer menu;
    Then go to the menu and select User Agent - choose a flavour of IE.
    Works about 50% of the time.
    It won't work if the site is using Activex controls.

    How do I download the windows support software for my Mac? I am getting an error  message saying that the software is not available

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    I do not recommend you to download the Windows support software through Boot Camp Assistant.
    Instead, you can download the Windows support software for most Macs from the Apple website. Go to this website, look for your MacBook Pro model and the Windows version you want to install, and follow its steps.

  • Can I move adobe cs4 from my windows machine to my new mac mini?

    can I move adobe cs4 from my windows machine to my new mac mini?

    Short answer is now.  Any app that was developed on
    for Windows will not run on OSX and visa versa.
    However, You can create a Windows environment on
    a Mac by 2 methods.  The first, create a dual boot
    machine using Bootcamp and install Windows on a
    seperate partion and then select which operating system
    to boot into.  The second is using virtual machine products
    such as VMware  Fusion  or Parallels Desktop Mac.  You
    basically create a virtual Windows environment that
    runs along side and concurrent with OSX. 
    Not sure how well this second approach will work with
    any CS4 app, as they tend to be quite resource intensive.

  • Cannot join Windows XP machines to the Mac PDC domain

    Frustrated...
    Yesterday, I was able to successfully add 5 Windows XP machines to the Mac PDC Domain (lets call it xyz.lan). Those machines show up as valid computer accounts in Workgroup Mananger (PC1$, PC2$, etc.). Users are able to logon to those Windows XP machines using their Mac Open Directory user account and access their home folder, etc.
    This morning, for some reason, I can no longer join XP machines to the Mac PDC domain. On both PCs I tried it with, I receive a "Insufficient System Resources exist to complete the requested service" on the Windows XP machine. I am using the diradmin user account and password to supply credentials. Same exact process as yesterday (which worked fine).
    A couple things of note. I made sure the PDC domain is set to Enabled for allowing Guest Access and that WINS Registration is also enabled. Authentication is lso set for NTLMv2 and NTLM for enabled. I also tried rebooting the server this morning as well. It's running 10.5.4. This was not an upgrade from 10.4, but a fresh install of Leopard.
    No changes were made on the server between yesterday and today that I am aware of.
    Looking at the /var/log/samba/log.smbd log, there are thousands of entries for "This process has forked and you cannot use this corefunctionality process, You must EXEC()" etc... The log also shows failures when the XP machine tries to join to the domain. Log entries are listed showing, "pdbdefault_createuser: failed to add new account for 'PC6$'". Adding PC6$ manually via Workgroup Manager doesn't help either.
    Any idea what to check next? I read so many varied things about Leopard and SMB not quite playing nice. People mentioning they had to go through all sorts of hurdles to get this working. Any advise is welcome.

    Any news about this? I'm having the same problem trying to join a Vista box to the domain. Here are the logs:

    I want to install Mac Office from my DVD drive located on my Windows 7 computer.  How do I make this work?

    Well, it sounds as though you are trying to install Windows software on a Mac computer.
    If that's really what you want to do, you have another project to do first. You could use Apple's Boot Camp software or 3rd party software such as Parallels or VMWare. If so, you have some reading and research to do.
    Or maybe you are trying to use Remote Disc? Here is a link to using Remote Disc for Windows:
