Hello. I was wondering if somebody was able to help me.
Basically, we have several sites, all setup with Server 2008 and Active Directory.
We also use Subcontractors who join and leave the company at undisclosed times.
When we're made aware of one starting, it's usually the same day and we make an account for them on the Primary DC or whichever site is most local to that user. Usually, we just set the passwords for these users and give the password to their manager or
Project director.
However, for security purposes, we need to start allowing the Subcontractors to change their own passwords, without a Domain enabled computer.
I know this is possible on Linux computers as we have a development team who all use Ubuntu and they're able to change their passwords on their Linux BYOD devices using a special script that is performed through Terminal. Basically, I need to know if something
is possible with Windows computers (as most of our subcontractors tend to use Windows 8.1 laptops).
Thank you for taking the time to read through the problem I am having. I look forward to seeing your replies.
