I am having a problem with IISADMPWD. I am granting my users the
abaility to change their passwords via a web page. I can get to the
main page fine http://<server Address>/iisadmpwd/aexp2b.asp. I fill
out the form and click on the appropriate button, and get sent to
http://<Server Address>/iisadmpwd/achg.asp? to carry out the actual
passwd change, but this page gives an error message of "This Page

Can you look a bit further down the page? "Page can not be displayed" is a
generic message at the top of the page. What is the HTTP status further
down? E.g. is it 500 Internal Server Error? Can you post what that message
is?

If it is 500, can you uncheck "Show Friendly HTTP errors" in your copy of IE
(Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced) and reload the page? Post the full
error message you get now.

Cheers
Ken

My own fault......

I just realized that the aexp2b.asp script brought you to a
httpS://<server address>/iisadmpwd/achg.asp. I have since updated the
script and I it appears to work OK. Thank you for the response.

I now got to lock it down by making everything HTTPS.
