We have not outsourced student e-mail.  However, we are exploring it.  In the event that we do, we would have students 
use our IDM solution (currently Sun IDM) to perform password changes and resets which relays the change to AD.   
Students can currently use OWA, IDM, or if on-campus a Windows machine to change their passwords.

Subject: [SECURITY] Changing Domain Passwords

Our students have always changed their domain (Active Directory) password through Outlook Web Access (Exchange 2003).
However, we recently outsourced our student email to MS Live@edu. Now we are wondering how students will be able to 
change his/her password without coming on campus and logging into a domain workstation.

If we use Live@edu's SSO (single sign-on) students will still need to be on the domain to change their domain password.

If any other schools have outsourced student email we would be grateful to hear of solutions for changing passwords in 
the domain (Active Directory) either without being on campus.

Thanks for any information you can provide.
