can command line?

i tried using mmc computer, , selecting "connect other server", gives me error "winrm client cannot process request"

hi,

the old password change command should still available in hyper-v server.

try following command:

net user user_name  new_password

when so, password changes without prompting again. command enables change passwords in batch file.
