Title: Change AD Passwords

Well on a Mac with OS 9 which is really out dated we have no choice but to install Netscape on these computers.  Installing Netscape just for password changing is ludicrous!  There should be a way to do this with any browser.  I work for a school district with 80% of the computers still having OS 9 because of funding issues.   -- Jake   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Douglas M.

Are these all OS X machines? Why not support Safari as the standard browser, or some other common browser that works. Seems crazy to support  a browser that is no longer developed.   Also, is it worth looking for something with automatic password reset? What I mean is, are people really going to supply or do you already have the proper data to fulfill validation of a user? If not, then it would be hard to justify the cost…unless like you said, there is something free out there that does it. In which case I would be interested tooJ         From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jake Stabl Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 3:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; MS-Exchange Admin Issues; ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Change AD Passwords   I know this message has come across this list before but I still don’t have a good solution.  Third party solutions that cost money are fine and FREE is better. I have been looking for some way for users to change their AD passwords from the web.  I have tried to use the built-in method from MS IIS but the .asp script doesn’t work correctly on a Macintosh with IE on it.  Plus not every staff member has access to a PC to change passwords. Also what would be nice is a product that does password change, and forgotten passwords.  This would greatly reduce the amount of service calls.  Also maybe a way to notify these people when their password will expire. The NOS here is Windows 2003 naturally… Thanks -- Jacob Stabl Network Engineer Plain Local School District http://www.plainlocal.org Office:      330.492.3500 Cell :        330.704.1278 IP Phone: 4466
