If you are in an Windows 2003/2000 domain enviroment, you can simply
setup option on the acount to Force a user to change there password
upon the next login. To keep the user from using the same password,
you can set Password History to remember the last password, (the last
3 passwords is a good recomendation) You can also set it to require
complex passwords when they change there password. You can also set
the password age, so they have to change it after a sertain amount of
days.

Hope that helps

hello all!!

In my company when we create a new user he is given an initial
password.But then he is told to change the password.The password is
initial of the employee name followed by 123..
for vijay shetti it willl be vs123...

We have a domain based environment.I want to check now how many users
have not changed their initial password using some tool that gives me
list of usernames whose password has 123 in the end.


We follow the same procedure for creating outlook mail password.If
there is any tool/script that also helps me find out this then it will
greatly help me.


Waiting for your reply,
