I have about 30 services accounts that I need to change password without having to login to a machine and Atl-Ctl-Del to change password. I dont have AD access. Is there other way that I am not thinking.

I update the company mac to the new OS big sur. It was doing fine before the login but once the update was done, the AD user is not able to login once its not connected to the corporate network or if it is on outside network. It just keeps on asking to reset the password. But if it is connected to the corporate network, it works fine. Already check with the settings, all is check, like create a mobile login and all those stuff.
I had the same issue, to fix it I had to go into our Device Management site (AirWatch, though I've heard the same things from InTune and other management tools), and disable the "Password" profile. Once AirWatch synced again it allowed me to log in without the "Reset Password" prompt.
Other things I learned:
For the first couple of days I had this issue I was able to reset the SMC and it would allow me to log in until I disconnected from the VPN again (at night).
I was able to reset the password on local accounts (I have a local test account that would accept a new password but it had weird restrictions I had never set like not being dictionary words, being over 12 characters, etc. I had to use something like 1qaz#WSX3edc$RFV for it to work.
If I logged in as a local admin account I was still locked out from using my domain joined account to perform admin functions on the computer and make server connections, it didn't give me the change password prompt, just failed like I had the wrong password.
Just putting this here for people who have to defend their choices to the higher-ups:
On a corporate domain the Password profile being set manually for Mac is redundant as long as you have the profiles in your management suite set to not allow local account logins and the password requirements are set in AD. This forces you to login with an AD account and AD will enforce the password requirements.
I have an issue with password on some accounts on windows 7.
They all are local accounts and I have tried to set
net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited
also make password never expired from user management but I still got password has expired
I cleared all polices on the machine with no luck to unlock accounts
one of the accounts as below:
These accounts were created remotely via batches by another computer but I access them on the actual machine and they are local accounts.
any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
Form the screenshot I can see that the account has expired date not the password.
Account and password have different expire settings and meanings.
net user USERNAME /expires:never
If this does not help: Please specify the scenario with more detail (How created and what should not expire, after doing what)?

I have changed domain of my windows pc out of curiosity. Now I can not login to enterprise account using this laptop. I need to change domain of my laptop back to its original domain.
You will have to login to the PC. I would try a local account.
When trying to login to a local account user the following for the user. This will use the local account.
Username: .\User
Side note: You will need to contact your help desk to get reconnected to your enterprise account as you need admin privileges to the domain to add a computer to it. Help desk should have a local account login and password as well.
Hope this helps!
Merry Christmas everyone !
I've installed Team Foundation Server 2010 with advanced configuration but I left the settings as default (like Service Account: NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE and others)...
All good until when I typed http://localhost:8080/tfs and there it asks me to provide username and password.
What is the default username and password ? I didn't provide any username and/or password during configuration.
I typed as my Windows account name but it doesn't work.
Help me please...
Thank you

TFS uses Window's accounts for its permissions. If you're logging in on a workstation setup, rather than one linked to AD then remember you need to specify your machine name as part of the username, for example MACHINE\michaels.
In order to setup new projects you will need to first start off using an administrator account - if your normal username isn't a Windows administrator, then login using your admin username and password (you can then grant permissions to your normal account. You can also use the Windows security groups on the machine to add yourself - there will be a local group called "Team Foundation Administrators". MSDN has a list of the Windows groups you can configure.
it is the windows login , password and u can set it in the administration panel also .
UPDATE - mine was ashutosh-pc\ashutosh and my windows password
You have set your service account to LOCAL SERVICE. Please change this to NETWORK SERVICE. The login box you are getting is not to login TFS, but to get access to your machine resources. The LOCAL SERVICE account does not have enough permissions to operate TFS.
If you don't have NETWORK SERVICE, then use a regular windows account.
See for more information the TFS 2010 Install Guide.
Yeah definitely it works using your windows account, but in my case I have my hotmail email account linked to my windows.. so, I just used my email address and the password for this, I am sharing an screenshot, this is the firs default page after logged in.
Is there a way to access a folder on network share with a service account?
I am using Windows 7 ent.
Is there a way to access a folder on network share with a service
account?
YES
It should prompt you for the credentials when you try to access it, and in there you will enter your Domain username and password.
If your account does not have sufficient security permissions, then you won't be able to access it. Ask your network admin to check to see if you have sufficient permission.
