Ah good to know. I'll remove that right from the security group I delegated the rights to since it's unnecessary.
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Grillenmeier, Guido Sent: Friday, December 22, 2006 9:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Delegate Password Resets Why would you want to modify the change password rights on your OUs? That doesn't make sense to delegate: unlike password reset, it's the right that only allows you to _change_ the password if you know the old one... So this is typically what the rights the users would need to change the PW on their own account - and by default it's granted to the Everyone well-known-secprin. This is NOT a security issue since if you know a user's password, you _are_ the user. /Guido From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of WATSON, BEN Sent: Freitag, 22. Dezember 2006 06:38 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Delegate Password Resets In our case, I simply modified the security permissions on the OU containing our user accounts to provide a granular delegation of rights so the members of this security group can go into ADUC and unlock user accounts or reset/change passwords only. I modified various read/write property rights as well as reset password and change password rights. Besides modifying ACLs, what other methods of delegating password reset functions were you referring to? ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Salandra, Justin A.
