Hello,
I am not sure I quite understand the issue. We were using LDAP with eDirectory and we migrated over to active Directory after 2 years. We didn't need to get the users to change their passwords. We simply changed the settings for the Moodle LDAP plugin to look at the new Active Directory tree and everything was ok. Moodle doesn't need to know the user's password. It is completely transparent. AD tells Moodle whether a user's password is valid or not. Moodle might choose to store the password locally in the Users table (depending on the configuration) and update it periodically but it certainly won't force the users to change their passwords unless AD asks them to.
Regards
Ravi
