I am working with a customer who has field agents with laptops. The field agent is offline about 95% of the time. They connect to the VPN maybe twice a month, which then gets them on the corporate network. &nbsp;The customer wants to implement a 60 day password change policy. &nbsp;The issue is that the agents will already have booted their laptops up and made a password change which is cached locally. &nbsp;They may run like this for 2 weeks. When they try to connect to the VPN (which uses the same AD password for login), they will not be able to connect because they are attempting to use their new password. &nbsp;The VPN is expecting the old password because AD server has not been updated yet. &nbsp;How can we manage password changes and sync issues for these field agents who are offline most of the time but are still required to change their password every 60 days?

Sync issue with VPN when users change password locally. Safe Boot is also used on laptops.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
