Windows 2012 : A domain user who does not belong to the Administrators group can change the passwords

Hello,
Can a domain user
that does not belong to the Administrators group,
be able to change your password ?
I tried to create a domain user account
without administrative access. This user account have
permission to access Windows Server
2012 via Remote Desktop.
I tried to access the same account
to the Active Directory Users and Computers,
i was amazed, because the user account it can  changed
the password for multiple accounts,
included one administrator account.
Best regards,
Ricardo

Hi Ricardo, 
I agree with Martin, we can check the membership about this user account. Besides, we can refer to following steps to check the memberships:
Start the ADUC on windows 2012.
Right-click the user account and select
Properties, then click the Member Of tab.
Check which group is the user account belongs to.
In addition, i suggest you create a new user account, and check if the new account can change other user’s password.
Best Regards,
Erin

  • I received a text from another iPhone user who does not have an iPad, why did I receive the text on my iPad rather than my iPhone?

    I have both the iPhone and New iPad and I was under the impression when sending a text it went from iPhone to iPhone or iPad to iPad.  Also, if I send a text from my iPad to someone who only has the iPhone, it comes in on their iPhone.  However, I received a text from an individual who only has an iPhone and it came to my iPad and never showed up on my phone...Which means had I not been at home I would not have known I had a text on my iPad????  How does it determine which device it will appear on?

    You are probably right - I don't have my iPad with me and was confusing myself.  But on the iPad it is receive at email addresses only.
    Sending to the phone number will mean ONLY your iPhone gets the message.  If you want it to go to ALL devices, then you should have them send to the email address associated with the AppleID you used to set up iMessage originally.  Also set that email address up as your caller id on the iPhone so as you send out messages, people will reply to that and both your devices should get them.
    Although Apple's notes indicate you should be able to do it - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
    what if you just type in a 10-digit phone number on the iPad instead of an email?
    (I originally did all this with iOS 5.0, and I know then the number did not work on an iPad, but maybe with iOS 5 updates, it does now?)

  • I have a downloaded font file for a school problem on a flash drive and I do not know how to install it into my photoshop application. Need to be walked through this as I am an older user who does not understand any of this stuff.

    I have a downloaded font file for a school problem on a flash drive and I do not know how to install it into my photoshop application. Need to be walked through this as I am an older user who does not understand any of this stuff.

    Fonts are handled by your operating system and installed through the respective System Control panel (Windows) or Fontbook (Mac). On Windows simply type "Fonts" in the search bar in the start menu and when you open the panel/ folder use File --> Add Font. On Mac the procedures are similar, you just need to find the Fontbook app in Applications:Utilities.

  • My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties

    My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties.
    First off, I'm using Windows XP (and Mac SnowLeopard) Here's how it started. For some reason my ipod started showing up as a camera when I plugged it in. It works fine in itunes, though. But when I tried to access it from "my computer" it only
    showed me the one and only picture I had on my ipod. I deleted that picture hoping it would no longer show up as a camera. When it still did I right-clicked on it in "my computer" and selected "properties". Under "autoplay" I
    chose for it to 'not show up' or 'take no action' or some such deal when I plugged it in. I thought that would stop it from popping up the window that asks whether i want to 'open camera wizard' or 'open camera scanning' or 'open folder to view files' or 'take
    no action' , etc. But now it won't show up in "my computer" at all. I also have a Mac with SnowLeopard. When I plugged my ipod into it my ipod doesn't show up in "finder" either! So basically my problem is not a mechanical one with hardware
    or software; yht ipod still works fine in itunes. I just need to undo the change I made. I've searched all around my preferences, utilities, options, etc. It shows up on my "Device Manager" but not on "Disk Management".
    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
    disk mode.
    Moreover, i recommend you to
    restore ipod to factory settings.
    If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.
    Here is an article you can refer to below:

  • My calendar will no longer let me add new event or delete them, it comes up with an error saying "cannot save event, no end date set" or "event does not belong to that event store". can anyone help with this?

    Hi,
    To configure your ODBC DataSource, go to Control Panel ---> DataSources(ODBC) (If you are in a Windows environment).
    Select the tab System DSN. If you have not added your data source, then do so by clicking on the Add button. If you have added the datasource, click on the Configure button to configure it.
    Give the datasource name, then the database name.
    You have to give the hostname, service name and server name. I guess, in most cases, the datasource name and host name will be the same, service name and server name will be the same. If you are using TCP/IP, the protocol will be onsoctcp.
    There will be a file named Services under C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc where you have to give the port number for accessing this server.
    It will be like this <service name> <portnumber>/tcp
    Hope this helps...
    best wishes,
    Nish

  • I send a text and it comes back saying invalid or person does not subscribe. But yet I can read the text te same person sends me? Is it a problem on my end or theirs?

    I send a text to someone and it comes back almost instantly and says the message is invalid or the person does not subscribe. But yet they can send me a text and I can see it. Is the problem on my end or theirs?

    No. It's not an iMessage. Just a regular text message. I can receive their texts and make a call to them. ??

  • Obtain a primary token for a user who does not have permission to logon locally

    I would like to know whether it's possible to obtain a primary token for a user who doesn't have permission to log on locally. If yes, what the recommended way is for doing that.
    I called LogonUserW with logon32_logon_network logontype for user which is not allowed to logon locally. It returned impersonation token. I called DuplicateTokenEx to create primary token but it still returned impersonation token.

    A Network Logon is always going to return an impersonation token.  This is by design. 
    A Batch or Service logon would return a Primary Token.  The user would need the corresponding right to return these 2 types of token.  Typically, all users are allowed to generate a Network Token (Impersonation Token) but as you have discovered
    it has limited usage which is by design.
    thanks

  • Find all users who does not have access to a shared mailbox.

    Hi all,
    We are in the proces of setting up a hybrid enviroment with our E2010 towards Office365. As part of that, we want to move several batches of users. The first bunch if users we move should not use any shared mailboxes etc. but how do I find
    those? I can see there are powershell scripts that find users who has a shared mailbox and then list the permission - but that is kind of the opposite than what I want :)
    Browsing manually through users is not practical either as we have 10000+ mailboxes at the moment.
    Hoping for a quick reply :)
    /Trev

    It is not possible to accomplish this by using powershell. Easier one is to get the list of people who has access on something with below and do easier data manipulation in Excel :
    Get-Mailbox -Resultsize Unlimited | Get-MailboxPermission | ?{$_.isinherited -eq $False -and $_.user -notlike "*self*"} | select identity, user,accessrights

  • Can I Share a document with a user who does not have righs to the site? (SharePoint 2013 on prem)

    Joe is in Sales
    He must Share a document with Jane in Marketing.
    He only wants to Share this one document.
    Does he need to go into the Sales site and add Jane as a site user? Jane will then be able to see everything on the site. No good.
    Does Joe now need to break inheritance on all the other site libraries from Jane to hide them??
    In a perfect world, Joe shares the doc with Jane. Jane gets email with link. Jane clicks link and goes to sale site where all she sees is the document that was Shared- nothing else.
    Cheers, Jim ___________________________________________________ If this was helpful please mark as an answer.

    With 2013, you can just Share the specific item. It will automatically break inheritance on that item and allow Jane to see that one document only and Jane will get a link inviting her to the document.

  • Some users don't appear at the login screen when restarting, only upon logging in as a user who does appear, then logging out. How can I make all users appear on the initial list?

    I've inherited a previously used early 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro at work.
    I now have my own account on the computer, however the account does not show up on the list of users to log in as in the start up log in screen. It will only appear if I first log in as one of the users who do appear, then logout. The background also changes between these two log in screens - the start up one is white whereas after logging out of one user it's the brushed steel background. My account has admin powers.
    Anyone have any ideas how I can make this account also show up on the start up screen?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I do think it has something to do with FileVault.
    Under System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> FileVault I try and click "Enable users" near the bottom (after unlocking with an admin password). If I do this from my own account a green check mark appears next to my name, but upon clicking "done" I received this message after a brief loading period:
    The following users weren’t allowed to unlock this disk because an unknown error occurred: (myusername).
    I tried going into the root account and performing this same process, the first time System Prefences unexpectedly quit, and the second I received the same error as above after clicking the "Enable User..." button next to my account and trying to hit "Done".

  • I tried Windows migration asisstant in my Vaio PC  windows 7 64 bit. It does not work. I could conect and get the number in both computers but nothing after that...:(

    I used an ethernet cable and my lAN (wireless) to transfer my data  PC (Vaio windows 7  64 bit) to Mac. Once I got the two computers connected  and the number in both computers it started to run....for 6 hours and nothing more happened. Do you have another idea how to transfer data (200 gigs) ?   or any idea how is the "secret way" to do that in the Mac store? "

    Ok.. I found  how
    First I turned off the wireless in both computers, then I turned off  the firewall in the PC  
    after I plugged  the Ethernet cable in both computers
    I found the  IP address of the PC in; start run  CMD  at the promt  I wrote IPconfig  enter
    In the MAC  I went to  go connect to a server
    I wrote the IP address in the server
    In the user I wrote the admin user of the PC with its password
    Yahooo!...  conected  and I copy the 200 gigs in 2,5 hours

  • Firefox does not open PDF file. IE can open the file.

    I am on a National Parks Service site and want to open a brochure. It is a PDF file. When I select the file nothing happens. If I open it in a new tab I get a blank screen. The site is good because I can open it with IE.

    In firefox: Tools -> Options -> Applications->PDF Document...Select: Use Acrobat Reader & press OK
    it opens in adobe acrobat reader in main application, not in browser... This is my preffered action :)
    That is it ;)

  • "Domain Users" group in Active Directory does not belong to any Group Membership in LC

    Active Directory user belonging to "Domain Users" group does not belong to any Group Membership in LC, why does it not belong to "Domain Users" group?
    Any way to correct this issue, without changing group membership on AD side?
    If Active Directory user is member of "Domain Admins" or "Users" then these show same group membership in LC.
    Thanks.

    If you want to use the Domain Users group for the purpose of representing all the users then you can use the "All principals in domain xxx" group which is created by UM.
    Coming back to Domain Users group. For determining group membership in AD UM uses "member" attribute of the group object. "Domain Users" group is treated differently by AD. It is the default primary group for all the users and normally members of the primary group are not specified using the member attribute.So when we sync the data from AD "Domain Users" membership does not get completed.

  • Delivering the crystal formated reports to users who are not defined BO/SAP

    Hi,
    The requirement is to send the crystal formatted report to number of users who are not in BO/SAP System. Can we use the whole dynamic contact list for automated personalization and distribution to people not set up as a user in the system?
    Can we deliver a publication to the users who are not at all defined in the BO system or any SAP system
    its to the users who are all together different vendors who do not have any login.
    Please let me know if this is possible via publication if possible could any one provide me any doc which states the same
    Thanks in Advance,

    Moved to BOE Admin forum.
    I assume you are using a BOE Scheduling options to distribute your reports?
    Check the Scheduling Guide and formats for more info.
    And yes simply send them a DPF file and set up a Group in your e-mail Server, or individual if that works better. More work though.

  • Business Management Error: You are attempting to create a user with a domain logon that does not exist. Select another domain logon and try again.

    Hello,
    Suddenly the working CRM is being stopped for some group of users.
    I drilled down to the issue and have checked that the users from Domain in which CRM is installed are having CRM access.
    But for other domain user having problem to access CRM.
    I tried to add a user from a domain which is not of CRM domain then it gives following error.
    "Business Management Error: You are attempting to create a user with a domain logon that does not exist. Select another domain logon and try again.
    <Message>LookupAccountNameW failed with error</Message> "
    The change is made - AD group have upgraded Activer Directory server to 2012 R2
    Please help as the Production CRM is not working for other domain user.

    We have Activer Directory Structure like below.
    One Root Domain says A
    and there are multiple child domain like B,C,D etc...
    B,C and D are all in same level,they are child of A domain.
    There are two way transitive trusts between A and all the child Domain.
    But there is no trust in between B and C and so on.
    Our CRM server is in B domain and B domain's user can access CRM but users of Domain C,D and so on can not access CRM.
