We require guests who need an account in AD to be sponsored by a staff or faculty member.  There is a web application 
where the sponsor can log in and enter information about the guest.  The guest account is then automatically 
provisioned and then de-provisioned after a set amount of time.

Subject: [SECURITY] Self Provisioned AD Domain Guest Accounts

Good Morning,

We have a need to be able to provide a guest presenter with temporary
credentials that would allow them to log in to a classroom podium PC that is
on AD. (so the whole CTRL ALT DEL, username and password thing).  The
problem I am trying to solve is that there is virtually zero support staff
available at times to hand the guest the id and password.  Does anyone know
of or has implemented an automated way (Kiosk?) to be able to have the
guest provide something they know to an application and have that app send
them the ID and password?  Because of the risks of not knowing who the
user might be, we are not willing to have the PC autologon.

Thanks,

Jim
