Changing domain password on a laptop that is not a member of the d

[Guest]

I am fixing to change our password policy on the domains at my organization.
Having the users change their passwords on their office PC is easy
(CTRL-ALT-DEL)but I have several users that do not work in the office and
have laptops that are not members of the domain. I cannot found out how to
change the password on the laptops. Any help with this would be much
appreciated.

As far as I'm aware, you can't. That is, unless you can arrange some kind of
communication to the server, perhaps VPN, secure tunnel or the like.

Having been caught-out by this myself in a highly-embarrassing manner (when
some laptops I'd prepared for use on an important African project
unexpectedly started issuing a password-expiry warning when unpacked onsite,
rendering the machines unusable a few days later, a thousand miles from help)
I now make it a policy not to have password expiry on laptops.

Then how do you have a password policy for your domain and have it not affect
your laptop clients?

Doesn't a password reset disk just help you with a local user account on the
laptop? I am needing the remote user to be able to change domain passwords.
