Although I haven't used it, Windows Password Synchronization:

might be an option.

Passwords can be changed directly against AD using a kerberos password
utility (kpasswd).

Based on what little experience I've had with AD 2003, Active Directory
does not seem to provide an LDAP based password changing function (Password
ExOp).
