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

[Stephen Ollis]

Hi Ken,

Outlook web access pops up a warning when the password is expiring. Maybe you could set a policy with the users to check that first.

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?
