I have already delved into the archives and I couldn't find quite what I was looking for. It is very possible that I looked over it, and if I did I apologize in advance. Now, to my question: We are a fairly small shop here (about 40 users) and the traditional way of doing a password change was to collect new passwords from everyone and then I change them in AD as well as in a couple of other places (i.e. like synchronizing them with our non-Exchange mail server). We did this so that in case somebody was away on vacation and we needed to log on to their computer (with their profile) we could do it. It saves the hassle of say, logging in with a domain account and then manually opening up a PST file or something like that.
I would like to have the user's change their own passwords, but I would also like to be able to know their new passwords. We have had numerous issues in the past with people telling us their wrong passwords, so I would like to get it straight from AD if possible. Right now the only solution I can see is cracking all of the passwords, but that isn't the most feasible way.
Does anyone know of a solution? Maybe something like an email generated by some sort of script with the new password? Sorry if this email dragged on for a bit. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
