How to Force a Password Change Prompt?

[Guest Trent]

Within our enterprise we have a number of computers that logon to AD using a

generic auto-login account. Nurses then use these computers to run their

clinical applications which have their own security. When these nurses use

the PC to go to the internet they are prompted by the ISA proxy server for

their credentials. They give them and then go.

 

Problem: We will soon be forcing all users passwords to expire every 60

days but since these nurses only use their credentials to authenticate out to

the internet through ISA I have no apparent way to prompt them to change

their passwords when they are about to expire.

 

Anyone know of any way to do this?

Yes. If not for just security reasons you need to have them all sign into

the workstations with their own account. Then they'll be forced to change

their passwords. However if they never log onto the domain how do you expect

to force them to change the password? In order to change their password

manually or from a policy rule they must be logged onto the domain

You either have to do what SBS Rocker suggests or you will have to

schedule for them to come in and change the passwords from a central

location where you have them do it at the AD. You could disable the

accounts and then when they call about it you can have them come and

change it.

 

Outside of that I can only think of what SBS Rocker is suggesting.

Considering the way you are sharing account logins at the main PC, there

probably isn't a good way to do what you are trying to do unless you

create a web application that allows them to authenticate to it and then

change their password.

 

Have you considered having your nurses login to the actual workstation

using their own credentials?

 

I used to manage a network in a hospital environment and found that that

was the best way to accomplish our needs, which seem to be similar to

your own.
