The function is just a thin wrapper around the NetUserChangePassword()
Windows API:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370650.aspx
It will use whatever ports the Windows network functions are using to
do its work. I would expect this to work automatically if you already
can connect to your remote domains over your firewalls. And if you
don't have domain addressability across the firewalls, then I suspect
that this function won't help you either.
