Subject: [itdiscuss] HELP -- Password change mgmt for remote users

 

MTW is on a Windows network and we have GPO's for password change
requirements. The problem is that remote users:

 

1.       Don't remember the signs of when a PW change is needed - so
they think their system is broken and / or

2.       The can't remember the steps for changing their password
remotely (RDP or VPN is what we have now).

 

So, as important at policies are for security, this is a nagging issue
and a growing problem as our network user group expands.

 

Does anyone know of a good, simple solution that would allow users to
quickly and easily change their network password without having to
remember to do an RDP or VPN connection? Or what suggestions /
recommendations might you have for this?
