Excuse my heavily-accented-French, but ......
This is crap. Not just because the voice-rec technology itself is not matured, but also for the fact that its application in the scenario you are envisaging is very impractical. And, you are asking for elevated credentials to boot. What's that? Does my privilege elevate in proportion to my voice's decibel, or relative to its inflection?
Sometimes, just because the technology is there does not mean that it's useful for whatever you can dream of.
Sincerely,

Subject: [ActiveDir] Password resets
There is talk about using a home grown speech recognition system to reset a user's password. You would need to enroll, the system would record your voice and if you ever wanted to reset your password, it would ask you to repeat a word of its choice.
The system would use a service account with the ability to reset passwords and turn on the option to force the user to reset the password at logon.
I am just sending this out to get some feedback. I would have a challenge trying to exclude certain groups from being able to do this, like IT folks with elevated credentials. Unfortunately those IT folks are in the same OU as the users that want this functionality.
Thoughts on any part of this?
Thanks
