Enable users to change password via Server 2008 R2 (Workgroup)

hi all,

good day all.  have quick questions file sharing services on microsoft windows server 2008 r2.  i've setup , installed windows server 2008 r2 act file server serve local office usage office running on workgroup based

i've noticed i've setup lot of users (app. 100++ users) , assign different users different accessibility.  due fact users workgroup based, having trouble of providing them change respective account accordingly.

i appreciate if can show me how able allow users change individual account password without login through rdp (remote desktop protocal) providing them administrator password exposed unnecessary security threats.

thank , looking forward reply soon!

 

thanks & regards,

vins

dear vins,

please bare in mind that, not running in domain environment, users can change local workstation password. in order change user account password on server, must have access server itself.

even if give them remote access server, still need give them sort of admin rights (even login username via rdp server).

have considered changing environment domain based? know time consuming , involves lot of work, worth it.
