Resetting Active Directory Password using a Web-based Utility

Asked By carlisle smith 0 points N/A Posted on - 11/09/2011

Does anyone have ideas on how to reset Active Directory passwords using a web-based utility? I am looking for something similar to Specops and Namescape that will walk the user through the password reset process. This should also be accessible 24 hours a day.

Resetting Active Directory Password using a Web-based Utility

In this case you can use ADSelfService plus to reset your password without delaying. Press the alt+ctrl+delete keys to get to reset your own password. The ADSelfService plus will provide you with GINA/CP software, which is just an extension of MS GINA which bring with it the adding feature of displaying passwords and the unlocks in the winlogon. To use the ADSelfService plus you have to enroll in it by answering hint questionings this is as a precaution to prevent accidental password changing and even those users that may change your logins without your knowledge.

This is simply known as a self-service password management tool as it ensures downtime for staff is reduced and high levels of productivity are achieved as each person is independent and can set there own passwords.
