Description:
------------
i would like the feature to modify user non-domain, windows accounts directly without having to resort to an exec(); or shell_exec(); command (probably because i cannot get them to work anyway). a standard old password, new password, confirm password setup would be ideal.

i have tried exec() and shell_exec with sysinternals psexec.exe and windows' built-in runas.exe with net user commands. i have tried setting safe_mode off but i cannot get it to work.

see below for sample



Reproduce code:
---------------
$pp = popen("runas /noprofile /user:machine_name\\administrator \"net user $username $newpassword\"", 'w');
fwrite($pp, $adminpassword);

// and also tried
shell_exec("echo $adminpass | runas /noprofile /user:machine_name\\administrator \"net user $username $newpassword\"");

// as well as for the sysinternals psexec.exe
shell_exec("psexec -u administrator -p $adminpass net user $username $newpassword");

Expected result:
----------------
be able to change local system passwords by web interface without relying on external utilities.

Actual result:
--------------
not possible
