Change AD password using Office 365 Cloud?

[tonynsx]

Is it possible to change a user's AD password using Office 365 Cloud (office.com)? I'm working on a laptop for a remote user, and I don't want to call him to ask what his current Windows login is.

It can be changed through OWA or Azure SSPR if it's enabled.

is OWA same as office.com? We have Office 365

Sign in to Outlook

outlook.office.com

I'm able to sign into outlook.office.com. How do I change my Windows (Active Directory) password from there?

Is it a Hybrid environment or Azure only?

 

[tonynsx]

I'm not sure. I have Azure AD Connect installed in my DC.

Then it's hybrid. If you don't have password write-back then you have to reset the password on-prem.

ok thanks

If you enabled password write-back under Azure Active Directory > Password Reset > On-premises Integrations
Then you can reset them in Azure and they should sync back the hashes to your on-prem DC(s)

Then you can do password resets through

SSPR provided you set that up too.
