NEED USERS TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE THEIR PASSWORDS AFTER ENFORCING COMPLEX PASSWORD POLICY IN WINDOWS SERVER 2008 ACIVE DIRECTORY
Hello all,
We have a Server running MS Server 2008, Active Directory and we have about 75 users on that domain. Our Exchange server 2008 and OWA as well as our SharePoin tare tied into that domain controller.
Lastnight, we created and enforced the password complexity policy within server 2008. This morning, the phone was ringing off the hook because users could not login.
When they would goto OWA to login, they would get their normal login prompt, but once they put their correct login info (user name and password) into the login box, it would loop them right back to asking them for their login info again. No error, nothing telling them to change their password etc.
Is their a lnk within OWA or some other link that would allow end users of this domain to change their password ? We are at a loss. We had to roll the policy back and remove it for now. But CEO is not happy. Please help ASAP.
Thanks !!

User accounts need to be configured to force users to change the password at next logon.

Hi DVD Localboy,
I am not really sure what the two links are referencing. I am not an expert with scripting etc. What I am looking for is directions, simple, step-by-step instructions on if there is a way to accomplish what I want to do, how to do it.
As stated earlier, when we implement the complex password policy within Active Directory, it forces users who do not meet the complex password criteria to change their password. That's great if you are sitting at a workstation that is attached to the domain.
If you are John Doe working on your personal laptop from home and you go to login to our webmail (OWA) or our sharepoint sites, you get the login prompt, enter your user name and passoword, click OK and then it loops you right back to the login prompt again. Why ?
Please help. I am running out of time on this one !! :- )

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection. Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
