off-topic: password change/reset for students
Good morning Sorry for the off-topic post, as this doesn't have a whole lot to do with wireless, although it's an issue that has come up DUE to users trying to access our wireless network for the first time. We use XpressConnect for self-service configuration of user devices for our wireless network. As part of that process, students must authenticate to our certificate server using their Active Directory (AD) credentials. The problem we are experiencing is that many of our users never use a domain computer (they use their personal devices which we do not put on the domain). I'm just wondering what other institutions are using to allow for self-service password change/resets for AD accounts. Ideally we'd have some sort of webpage that does this. I google'd this and got a few hits for software that seems to do it (providing multiple options: web, windows Login add-on, and even mobile app), but was wondering what the most popular one was. I thought maybe Microsoft FIM had this functionality, but not sure it provides the portion. Any info/advice is appreciated.

Westmont wrote a web page to allow users to change their credentials. It mostly works but is a little long on the tooth and could use a facelift. Misspellings courtesy iPhone.

We're using the Netwrix Password Manager: http://www.netwrix.com/password_manager.html For the most part we've been happy with it (although I don't usually deal with it directly).

Wow vision veos
Has anyone tried these in their classrooms? http://www.wow-vision.com/products/veos Trenton Hurt, CWNA, CWSP, CCNP(W), CCNA(W), CCNA(V), CCNA(R/S) Wireless Network Administrator University of Louisville Phone (502) 852-1513 FAX (502) 852-1424 ** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
RE: Wow vision veos
No, but it looks very cool. I would be curious how compatible it is with existing wireless deployments. Pete M.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wow vision veos
We implemented one of these VEOS units in a classroom last fall. It's pretty neat, but I found the emphasis on wireless to be misleading. The unit itself does not have wireless; it connects to your network via wired ethernet. I think the point is that wireless laptops can visit the VEOS unit via http and download the client, and then a student or guest can then share their screen over the projector. As long as wireless clients can get to the IP address given to the VEOS, then there is no configuration on the network. I hope that this helps.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wow vision veos
So when it does the sharing of the screen to the projector did you notice any performance hit to the existing enterprise wireless that you have deployed in that area? If possible can you get a spectrum capture to see the rf utilization, etc. I'm very concerned that this display mirroring could really cause issues in some of my large classrooms where the rf is already being taxed heavily from client usage.
