Looking for a simple password reset tool

I work for a public school district. We want the librarians at each campus to reset passwords for students to take the load off of the help desk. We used to be a Novell network and we had a simple password reset gui tool that they used. Now it seems in our
new Microsoft network, there is only the Active Directory Users and Computer mmc.
I've looked into self service solutions but they are too expensive for us.
- Most of the network is Win7 or OSX.
- I don't want them to see the entire AD infrastructure.
Can anyone recommend a free or low cost alternative?
 

you can use DSMOD command
dsmod user "CN=Don Funk,CN=Users,DC=Contoso,DC=Com" -pwd A1b2C3d4 -mustchpwd yes
If you don't know the DN of the user you can use DSQUERY with user name and pipe the result to DSMOD
dsquery user User1 | dsmod user "CN=Don Funk,CN=Users,DC=Contoso,DC=Com" -pwd A1b2C3d4 -mustchpwd yes

  • I'm looking for a simple DJ app

    Hi Folks,
    I hope this is the best place for this question!  I'm looking for a simple App that will allow me to add music on the fly to a playing playlist. iTunes DJ does most of what I want but doesn't allow me to drag and drop order or remove songs.  I don't need turntables or eq or anything like that.  Just a simple way to create playlists on the fly with the ability ro rearange the order, add and remove songs on the fly. Also, if there's a better forum for my question, please advise.
    Thanks!

    Which particular Mac OS are you running, psychmac?

  • Looking for a simple drawing application for my grand-daughters

    Well, that's more or less it, I'm looking for a simple drawing application for my grand-daughters. In the children section of iTunes store, there's only a few books and nothing more. I bought the iPad mainly for my grand-children to teach them a bit and I don't find interesting things for them.
    Can anybody help me with that?

    Brushes is a nice finger drawing app. Since you didn't say how old they are, I don't know if the interface is to difficult for them to use.
    Sketchbook is another nice drawing app.
    Neither are free.

  • Looking for a simple way to convert a string to title case

    New to LiveCycle and Javascript.  Looking for a simple way to convert a string to title case, except acronyms.  Currently using the the following, it converts acronyms to lower case:
    var str  =  this.rawValue;
    var upCase = str.split(" ");
    for(i=0; i < upCase.length; i++) {
    upCase[i] = upCase[i].substr(0,1).toUpperCase() + upCase[i].substr(1).toLowerCase();
    this.rawValue = upCase.join(' ');

    Thanks for the reply.
    Found the following script in a forum, which works fine as a "custom validation script" in the.pdf version of my form.  However, it will not work in LiveCycle?  The problem seems to be with
    "return str.replace(/[A-Za-z0-9\u00C0-\u00FF]+[^\s-]*/g"
    function toTitleCase(str) {
    var smallWords = /^(a|an|and|as|at|but|by|en|for|if|in|nor|of|on|or|per|the|to|vs?\.?|via)$/i;
        return str.replace(/[A-Za-z0-9\u00C0-\u00FF]+[^\s-]*/g, function(match, index, title){
    if (index > 0 && index + match.length !== title.length &&
      match.search(smallWords) > -1 && title.charAt(index - 2) !== ":" &&
    (title.charAt(index + match.length) !== '-' || title.charAt(index - 1) === '-') &&
    title.charAt(index - 1).search(/[^\s-]/) < 0) {
    return match.toLowerCase();
    if (match.substr(1).search(/[A-Z]|\../) > -1) {
      return match;
      return match.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + match.substr(1);
    event.value = toTitleCase(event.value);

  • Looking for a simple flip book template for Flash CS5

    Hi, I'm looking for a simple flip book template for Flash CS5 for a 20 page brochure/ booklet. Or a tutorial. Does anyone know of one?
    Thanks!

    Hi Mark,
    No need to restrict your choice to the preset Pages Templates. Do a web search and choose a Word template. Pages will open Word documents and templates. Or design your own:
    This is a Table I inserted into a blank Pages Word Processing document. Format the date column in Inspector > Table > Format > Cell Format. Select the first Date cell,then drag the fill handle down to increment the dates.

  • Looking for a simple answer ........ without the ...

    looking for a simple answer  ........why is it more difficult for skype to connect than before . It fails to ring most times and your never sure if it is just slow or did not dial in the first place???  and is there any way to disable the leave a message feature ??? I am afraid soon it will be like most wondows applications where you will need endless updates and patches just to keep it running ..... Why is it that everyone is trying to fix everthing when it isnt broken.

    WTF? I'm sure you can find plenty of examples on google. It's on you to take the time to go through them, study them, and, if you still don't understand something, post a clear, concrete question that indicates what you read and what you didn't understand about it.
    As is, you're essentially treating folks here as your research flunkies and saying, "Give me an example that's better than all the ones already easily available to me. Read my mind to know why I didn't like them."

  • I'm looking for a simple Notebook template for Pages.  Any help?

  • Looking for a simple discussion tool for my portal

    i don't want to use the collaboration server since it is added way to many extra nobs and configuration. Also Collaboration Server 4.0 will expose my list of users to everyone which i do not want to happen.
    So i am looking for a portlet or set of portlet that will allow me to host discussions on my portal. I want something simple for the users to use and something with good security.
    Has anyone implemeneted such a portlet?

    Hi Michael,
    If your issues with collaboration or simply issues with the collaboration UI, I'd encourage you to look at using the new EDK PRC Collaboration APIs. You can use these APIs along with Collaboration 4.0.1 to make you own portlets leveraging the Collab Service. As a result you can built your own portlets powered by the collaboration discussion enginer. Some developer docs here:

  • Looking for a simple, standalone desktop app for web stats

    Well, I see they've changed the forums here again. SIGH.
    Anyway, a certain web host has eliminated AWStats from it's shared hosting. So I used Webmaster Tools. And now they've changed, and no longer display the simple visitors and hits. Google Analytics is way too complex for what I need, as are many of the stats programs I've looked into.
    I can download the daily Apache log files, that's no problem. Just looking for a small standalone program to import these and show the data like AWStats.  Any suggestions? The only other options would be to go to a different web host. Not a big deal overall, but I would rather not deal with the hassle, especially the migrating the database.

    Not sure of standalone 'desktop' apps. But check out http://www.openwebanalytics.com/ and Web Analytics in Real Time | Clicky  - they're both very intuitive and easy to use with a lot more simplified stats than Google Analytics.

  • Looking for a simple hash function

    I need the equivalent Oracle statement to this MySQL statement:
    INSERT INTO `site_users`
    (`username`, `password`)
    VALUES
    ('test', SHA1('testpw'))
    That SHA1 function is what I'm looking for, and for the life of me I can't find the equivalent. It's just a simple hash for the password, that's it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    David

       , RAWTOHEX(dbms_utility.get_hash_value('TESTPWD',1,Power(2 ,16)-1))

  • Looking for a simple database.

    I am looking for a very simple data base program to organize email addresses for mailings that we do for our business. I was using numbers but with the recent upgrade it does not seem like the best option. A free program would be my preference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    The free sqlite3 database comes with OS X Mavericks and earlier OS X releases. The default interface is the Terminal, as shown in the following. It assumes you know the Structured Query Language (SQL).
    /usr/bin/sqlite3 mydatabase.db
    sqlite> .help
    <sqlite>.quit
    man sqlite3
    You might consider a proper visual interface that sits on top of sqlite3 from Apple's App Store. Base is an example of one tool. There are others. These are much easier to tolerate for some than the command line interface in Terminal.
