Internet Only Workstation

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

You should post this to an AD newsgroup or to a Server newsgroup. Something
like a Terminal Session?

However: One must be logged in as a Domain Administrator in order to change
passwords. What you are proposing is to provide Admin rights to any
un-authenticated user who might try to hack into your network.
From a security standpoint, you would be better of to allow all users to log
into your Domain without a password -- at least then they would not be
entering as Admins.
