RE: [ActiveDir] Change a password over PPTP Windows Domain

You could disable account caching and force them to log on to the laptop via PPTP before authenticating to the machine. Of course this would now allow them to log on to the computer if they had no way to connect to the RRAS Server.  Solves one problem but creates another one.

-  Yes- sorry.
 
Our remote users use Windows XP Pro and connect to the Corp network via PPTP once online.  Yes, they can use Ctrl+Alt+Del to change password but since they are logged in to their laptops locally using a cached account once they change their passwords they cannot get back into the latop.
 
I'm trying to find a way that users can change they passwords over PPTP and not get locked out of their laptops
 
Thanks!

I'm very confused (haven't had a lot of coffee today)...
 
Is the laptop a member of the domain? How are you changing the password? What exactly isn't working? You should be able to simply press CTRL + ALT + DEL and change the password just as you would if you were connected to the network via any other connection. Can you provide more information about what you mean by "cache problems" and "dialup option"?
 
thanks,
 
Laura

Yes only on Windows XP -
 
It looks like I need to edit the GINA.dll and enable fast user switching but that doesn't sound right to me...
