Does anyone know of anyway to automate synchronizing the password of a user's
local account on their Windows XP machine with their local account that is
set up on a standalone Windows 2000 server?

I want to give my users the ability to change their password for their user
account on a standalone Windows 2000 server that they need access to for one
of their applications.

That is one reason to move to a domain from a workgroup, the inconvenience
of having to deal with passwords in multiple places.

This is just a short term solution I am looking for. The plan is to bring
this specific application server and connecting workstations into the domain.
To make a long story short, there are some things that get broken due to
domain policies that are pushed down to the servers as they are added to the
domain. Until I can finish troubleshooting those things, the workgroup
configuration is what I have to deal with.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Google password sync.

In case anyone is interested, I found my solution. For the application I am
working with, it requires a drive mapping to a share on the standalone
server. If you hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and click on the "Change Password" button,
you will see a list of resources from which you can select. You can either
highlight all of them or select some of them (if there are several). This
will allow you to either change the password for some or all of the server,
domain, or peer workstation resources you may be connected to.

Thanks for the feedback. Hope this helps anyone else who may have run into
this scenario.
