Is there any way to allow a certain user group to reset
passwords but prohibit them from changing the
Administrator password?
 
You could place the adminitrator account in a separate OU
and then removing the permissions on that OU for that user.

Hope this helps.
 
Hi Shall,

You can not delegate "reset password" on any user that is a member of the
"administrators" group. This is by esign.

To delegate the "reset password" on a user with administrative
repsonsibilities, you will need to make sure the user is not a member of
"administrators". (This may require creating custom rights on the domain
for
the user to be able to perform administrative duties.)
