sbs 2003, a badly corrupted server

I tried a method on the net, but wont work, that post is about using adsiedit,msc to edit user's usrparamenter by clearing it. that didn't work for me.

I tried dsmod , no luck

eventtually tried ldifde cmd
http://oreilly.com/pub/a/windows/2004/03/30/serverhacks_passwords.html?page=last&x-maxdepth=0

ldifde -i -f ChangePwd.ldif -t 636 -s dcname

the trick is to convert the password to some based-unicode, so there is a stringconverter to convert you fav password

dn: CN=Jane Doe,OU=Boston,DC=testdomain,DC=local
changetype: modify
replace: unicodePwd
unicodePwd::IgBwAGEAcwBzAHcAbwByAGQAIgA=
-

notice the - at the end of file is required

finally I changed someone's password at the end of the day

IKEv2

IKEv2
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff687723(v=ws.10).aspx

IKEv2 allows multiprotocol traffic to be encrypted and then encapsulated in an IPsec header to be sent across a private IP network or a public IP network, such as the Internet. IKEv2 can be used for remote access VPN connections. IKEv2 supports automatic VPN reconnect that allows the security association to survive changes in the underlying connection. This enables a VPN connection to continue working with no user interaction when the network connection changes from wired to wireless, or if the IP address changes. When using the Internet as the public network for VPN, the IKEv2 server is an IKEv2-enabled VPN server with one interface on the Internet and a second interface on the intranet.

Both IKEv2 and IPsec must be supported by both the VPN client and the VPN server. IKEv2 is supported by remote access clients running Windows 7, and by VPN servers running Windows Server 2008 R2.
