    Hi,

    I can't seem to find "Change Password" when connected to Windows Server 2012 with Remote Desktop. It's totally missing.

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    Press CRTL+ALT+END

    this is in essence the same thing as CTRL+ALT+DEL, it will display the login security screen where you can change the password, lock the computer, shut down, etc.

    Hi,


    I agree with Falcon, you can press Ctrl+Alt+End to change the password for the remote computer. In addition, based on my test, when the password is changed, the session will not disconnect and you need to type the new password the next time you connect to this server.


    Hope this helps.

    I know this is an old thread, but my question is pretty much the same.

    I was wondering if there's a user friendly method to change the password.
    Reason why I'm asking, I don't expect users to remember the CTRL+ALT+END combination if they're required to only change their password once every few months.

    In server 2008R2 there was the Windows Security -> Change password.
    Isn't there a similar method for 2012? Or commandline I could run (so I can create a shortcut for users)?

    Kind regards,
    Peter
