Domain Controller password expiration
Anyone faced an expired domain controller password on Azure (simple AD inside vnet - not AADS)? Not able to change password via RDP. Note: AD Administrator password; not local admin.
Burning a partner support ticket with this. After two hours the tech is
elevating. May know Monday if it is possible or not.
Did you get this resolved? I have the exact same issue on a couple of test AD VMs in Azure.
Chris JohnsonNo, I had to blow away the domain and redo it.
If the agent is working, which i assume it is because of the error, then you can use the custom script extension to just create a new user.
net user soverflow Testing123 /add /domain net localgroup administrators soverflow /add
And you should be able to RDP with new user 'soverflow'.
Hope this helps.

if not you will have to use another Server and nest a domain joined server to it.
