How to Reset Active Directory Passwords Without Remote Desktop?

Don't forget that using the `net user username * /domain` command could also work if you have the right permissions. It's a straightforward command that can help reset user passwords.

Alternatives like the Windows Admin Center can also help you manage user accounts without needing to log into the DC directly. If you're looking for user self-service options, check if your organization has the right licenses to enable that.

If you're on the same network as the DC, you can use PowerShell. Just run a command like `Set-ADAccountPassword -Identity -Reset -NewPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText "" -Force)` to reset passwords securely.

The easiest way is to download and install the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) on your local computer. Once you have that set up, you can manage user passwords directly without needing to remote into the DC.

You could also use the Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) tool locally, as long as you’ve got the RSAT tools installed. If you prefer scripting, a PowerShell script can effectively reset passwords too.
