Hello,
still not able to recover my password to Microsoft Exchange SMTP outgoing mail.
Hi @CLAUDE KOHLI
Thank you for your update.
From my research, to change a user password in Exchange Server, you can use either Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) or PowerShell.
Option 1: Using Active Directory Users and Computers
Option 2: Using PowerShell
You can use the Set-ADAccountPassword cmdlet to reset a user password:
Set-ADAccountPassword -Identity <username> -NewPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText "<newpassword>" -Force)
I hope this serve as additional insight for my previous response. If you have any updates or further questions, please feel free to reach out.
