Windows – Reset Windows domain user password

active-directorydomainpasswordwindows

Is there a way to reset a domain user password remotely without logging in to a domain controller using Remote Desktop?

I could not find any MMC plugin in non-server Windows (Windows 7 Ultimate in this case) to manage Active Directory which is understandable.

You can download the Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7. This will give you all the MMC snap-ins you'd normally find on the Server OSes. However, the machine you're running this from will likely have to either be a domain member or at least connected to the same network the domain is on in order to connect to your DC remotely.
