If they're in an AD domain (I sure hope that they are), then all they have to do is hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete and then click "change password". If your users aren't on the domain, then I believe you may just need to allow users to RDP to the servers in question and then change their password that way.

Assuming Active Directory: If you are running Exchange, they can use OWA to change passwords. Why can't they use Ctrl-Alt-Del? Are they Macs? I have my Mac users use OWA. Another option is to set the expiration interval, they should get a prompt to change their password, and the prompt will have a button to change it...
