Good morning folks, yesterday I changed the domain password security to
retain password history for 5 passwords and the password can not be
changed for one day.

Our help desk used to set passwords to a default value when they got a
call from a user and then tell the user to change it to something they
want. It looks like that is not working for them

Is there anyway around this ?

Thanks

Not if you keep the password can not be changed for one day. Unless you
have the user come to your helpdesk and change it thru the admin tool.
Otherwise they will not be able to change their password cause the Age
is not past 24 hours.

Help desk sets he password to something "something", tells the user to change their password to whatever they want it to be and the user can not. I thought about having the HD check the box that makes it so the user has to change the password the next time they log in but I think that would effectively lock out the OWA only users.

The point is that the HD gets the user going by setting the password to something generic, then the user is supposed to change it to whatever they want to keep.

The HD needs to make their change 24 hours before they let the user
know that the account is ready.

As others have pointed out, modify your policy to remove the 24-hour (one
day) restriction.

Like Jeff said, if you keep the "Password can not be changed for 1
day" setting then this will not work. The helpdesk changing the
password means that it can not be changed again for the next 24 hours.
In your scenario the users will have to wait 24 hours to change their
password, or you will need to turn that option off.

I mean, if I use the check box to "user must change password at next logon" our users whose only way into the domain is OWA will not prompt them to change their password... Unless I am missing something.

Johnny,

We do exactly what you suggest, change the password and set the "user must change password at next logon" and they are able to change it, even within the "password cannot be changed period".

What do you mean by "that would effectively lock out the OWA only users"?

Help desk sets he password to something "something", tells the user to
change their password to whatever they want it to be and the user can not. I
thought about having the HD check the box that makes it so the user has to
change the password the next time they log in but I think that would
effectively lock out the OWA only users.

The point is that the HD gets the user going by setting the password to
something generic, then the user is supposed to change it to whatever they
want to keep.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Password policy change


Good morning folks, yesterday I changed the domain password security to
retain password history for 5 passwords and the password can not be changed
for one day.

Our help desk used to set passwords to a default value when they got a call
from a user and then tell the user to change it to something they want. It
looks like that is not working for them

Is there anyway around this ?

Thanks

I think he wants to know what is OWA or at least I want to know :)

Your right Aaron, I didn't know what it meant.!

I am not an outlook sort of person (we use Notes...), but the inferred
statement surprises me. It suggests that if the "must change password" is
set, you can't logon to Outlook Web Access.

This would suggest that forcing users to change password after (say) 28 days
is also a no-no.

And, it would also suggest that Outlook Web Access won't let you change your
password. If it did, it would surely allow you to logon, then require you to
change the password before you do anything..

This all seems unlikely, given Microsoft's recommended use of forcing
password changes on a regular basis and forcing users to change a password
when a new user is created.

If it is all true, maybe you have to provide some way that the users can go
to a Citrix portal and change their password there, then go back and use
Outlook Web Access.

Yep, OWA is Outlook Web Access. If you haven't seen it, it is gorgeous in
Exchange 2003. It looks almost exactly like Outlook. Unfortunately, if your
password is expired (forced or otherwise) you aren't getting into OWA. I
also don't believe it has a password change function if you just want to go
and change it, but that could be something that could be enabled.
Alternatively you set up another web page to do it.

As for the OPs original issue. It all comes down to implementation. You told
the system to not allow people to change the password if the password age
was less than one day and then were confused when it did exactly that. The
reason for it is that there is one attribute for password age, pwdLastSet,
and it doesn't distinguish between a helpdesk set operation or a normal
password change, they are both password changes and you only want one day
between every change. The proper way to handle that case is to force the
user's to change their password on next logon (which sets the pwdLastSet to
0), but as you know, that will kill OWA users. So you either need another
process to follow for OWA only users, install some third party or custom
inhouse tool, or drop the minimum password aging.

Yep, OWA is Outlook Web Access. If you haven't seen it, it is gorgeous in
Exchange 2003. It looks almost exactly like Outlook. Unfortunately, if your
password is expired (forced or otherwise) you aren't getting into OWA. I
also don't believe it has a password change function if you just want to go
and change it, but that could be something that could be enabled.
Alternatively you set up another web page to do it.

As for the OPs original issue. It all comes down to implementation. You told
the system to not allow people to change the password if the password age
was less than one day and then were confused when it did exactly that. The
reason for it is that there is one attribute for password age, pwdLastSet,
and it doesn't distinguish between a helpdesk set operation or a normal
password change, they are both password changes and you only want one day
between every change. The proper way to handle that case is to force the
user's to change their password on next logon (which sets the pwdLastSet to
0), but as you know, that will kill OWA users. So you either need another
process to follow for OWA only users, install some third party or custom
inhouse tool, or drop the minimum password aging.

I have a possible solution for the OWA users. I havent used this particular software but we use one of their other products and it works well. I'll let the website speak for itself. But I believe this would provide a means via the web for your users to change their passwords.

That should work. :-)

There are actually many web-, phone- and login-prompt- accessible
password change/synchronization/reset applications out there, some of
which support password updates to multiple types of systems, rather than
just AD.

One such is http://psynch.com/
Linking one of these to OWA should be trivial. With this product, and
probably others, you should have no trouble detecting password expiry and
bouncing the user to the 'change now' page either.
Good luck,

our users whose only way into the domain is OWA will not prompt them

their password... Unless I am missing something.

Thanks

Johnny,

We do exactly what you suggest, change the password and set the "user
must change password at next logon" and they are able to change it,
even within

the

"password cannot be changed period".

What do you mean by "that would effectively lock out the OWA only users"?

Help desk sets he password to something "something", tells the user to
change their password to whatever they want it to be and the user can not.

I

thought about having the HD check the box that makes it so the user
has to change the password the next time they log in but I think that
would effectively lock out the OWA only users.

The point is that the HD gets the user going by setting the password
to something generic, then the user is supposed to change it to
whatever they want to keep.
Thanks

Good morning folks, yesterday I changed the domain password security
to retain password history for 5 passwords and the password can not be

changed

for one day.

Our help desk used to set passwords to a default value when they got a

call

from a user and then tell the user to change it to something they
want. It looks like that is not working for them

Is there anyway around this ?

Thanks
