We have scripts that change our scripter user password in Meditech, then change it back so that it does not ever reach the expiration.
I would approach your project with the mindset of "can this be done by a human?" If it can, then a script can do it, usually more efficiently. You would need to find out exactly what it is they are trying to accomplish. Are they reacting to changing the password after it expires (why? that's werid) or are they looking to prevent it from expiring in the first place (for AD, why, when you can set the password to never expire)? If the latter, you could do the same type of script I created for Meditech. Log in, change the password, change it back, viola. Timer reset.

To all, I've been asked to work on a project to script password changing (in multiple applications) when a users password expires. Has anyone ever attempted anything like this? Also it appears to be mostly McKesson Applications, possibly Novell and/or MS Active Directory. But I don't know a lot about the project yet. I'm being asked to put some thought into how many hours it would take.....LOL!!
