OWA doesn't have a built in password change function but you can activate the standard IIS password changing module called iisadmpwd which is placed in the options section of the OWA interface. However if the password has expired you be out of luck.
Once article that covers this is: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;297121 Regards Peter Johnson -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: 27 August 2005 08:16 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Password policy change 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. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of SysPro Support Sent: Saturday, August 27, 2005 12:09 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Password policy change 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.
