FIM 2010 R2 - Change password vs. Reset
Is there a way to set-up a workflow for SSPR that allows a user who knows their password to change it? I know they can just answer their challenge questions and reset it that way, but Management feels they should be able to simply enter their password and then change it they know it. Changing the password using Ctrl-Alt-Del is not ideal for us because most users are either off-site, not VPN'd in or not connected to the domain. Thanks for any advice!

There is no password change feature in FIM (not in R2 either). What I have been using at some customers having to support password change from "outside", is the pasword change feature avaiable in TMG or UAG.

If you use Exchange OWA - there's a pasword change option in there also.Frank C. Drewes III - Senior Consultant: Oxford Computer Group

How can one change their domain password from a laptop not connected to the network?

Read the answers from Me and Frank above. What is it in those answers you do not understand? They of course means that the user needs to be on a computer connectected to "some" network usually with Internet access and that TMG, UAG or OWA with password change capability enabled is accessible.

what i was trying to say is that if one change their domain pwd via TMG/UAG/OWA. The laptop would still have the cached password until next time the user tries to connect to the corporate networkThe FIM Password Reset Blog http://blogs.technet.com/aho/

Good point Anthony - Didn't think of that one, since my PC isn't joined to my company's domain, but something to consider for most people.Frank C. Drewes III - Senior Consultant: Oxford Computer Group
