Changing password in Outlook 2003

Hi, I'm hoping someone could help me with this problem. We have two domain
controllers that we can log into. We are also running Exchange 2003. In
Outlook 2002 there was a "change password" button that came back on the login
box. The box had username, password, and domain and at the bottom it had Ok,
Cancel and Change Password. In Outlook 2003 there's only username and
password. In the username you put domain\username but the only two buttons at
the bottom are Ok and Cancel. Does anyone know what happened to the "Change
Password" button or where does one go to change the password. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Kathy

Changing your password is now done via the operating system;  press
Control+Alternate+Delete and click the "Change Password" button.

You are correct but our Exchange server and our domain controller are in two
separate domains. We log into one domain and then we launch Outlook and log
into another domain. I hope this makes sense.  Thanks

There is a place to change the password for in Outlook 2003. It may
work in your situation.

I was able to reset my Exchange account password this way. Worked for
me but might not in all situations.

I'd also like to thank MS for taking a simple "Change Password"
button and burring it 7 layers deep. And they wonder why so many people
switch to Linux...

Thank you so much. I think this will work for us. Unfortunately I can't
change my password on my domain because of certain app rights but I've sent
this on to our other domain users to give it a shot. It looks like it would
work. After weeks of researching you have solved our problem.

Thanks
Kathy

Yes, Louis, that worked.  Thank you very much.  Glad I checked in here and
saved myself months of research too.  Strangely, none of the online articles
give this workaround.  Might be sometheing Micro$$oft might want to consider
publishing.

I work on an Exchange server, and ther are several levels of support staff
that I want to access to my Outlook, but I don't want them have all my other
rights on the network.  Being able to have a separate Outlook password is
very helpful because they now can have access via webmail.

Again, thanks for your post.
