We historically have used Avatier (with Gina replacement/web interface and not cheap), but are now looking at implementing FIM 2010's self-service password management (also with modified Gina - and can be affordable with right enterprise agreements)

Which, as I forgot to add and MBS has pointed out, don't make it cheap. On 16 February 2012 18:54, Michael B. Smith <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: There are a couple of them out there - but they aren't cheap - and I don't recommend it. Putting the recovery button on the logon screen requires a "custom GINA". A new custom GINA is required every time specific pieces of the Windows kernel are updated (I think it's lsass.exe, but I'm not 100% on that and can't investigate right now). Which definitely happens by each service pack and may happen many patch Tuesdays. I think it's better for someone to walk to the office next door, or borrow their neighbor's computer for a couple of minutes. From: Sean Rector [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2012 1:45 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Self-Service Account Unlock I've been looking through the multitude of options, but they all seem to be web-portal-based. Is there one that puts the Unlock option on the Logon Screen? My point is - what's the use of a web-portal version when they can't log on to their machine? A kiosk-type user account doesn't seem the safest route to go.
