AD Password Management using SharePoint 2010
We have SharePoint 2010 installed and users login using AD accounts. We have recently added a very nice webpart that allows them to change their passwords whenever they want, but of course they have to already be in SharePoint to use it.
I'm looking for one more thing to add to the installation: a force password change dialog.
If a remote user logs in after their password expires, I'd like for SharePoint prompt them to change it before proceeding. Or if they call me for a password reset (if they've forgotten their password), I'd like to be able to force them to change their temporary password at first logon.
I'm guessing these would be the same thing, but I could be wrong about that.
Thanks,
Jono

Thanks for the link, yagyashree. I'll take a look at it and then get back on here. I've been out since last Wednesday; that's why it's taken me this long to comment.

Hi yagyashree - It looks like the webpart from your link is just a change password webpart. I actually already have one of those in place.

The users logging in to the site don't login to their machines using the same AD accounts?
If they did, then the computer would prompt them...not the site...just a thought.

Kernel_Recovery_Tools -
Is the procedure you posted for automatically changing a user's password and then sending it to them? I'd like something that will force them to change their password rather than just giving them one.
Here's a scenario that might better explain what I'm looking for...
What's happening now:
A user uses a non-domain computer to log into SharePoint with his AD account. His password is expired so he is denied access to SharePoint.
What I'd like to happen:
A user uses a non-domain computer to log into SharePoint with his AD account. His password is expired so when he attempts to log into SharePoint, he's presented with a dialog that tells him his password is expired and then prompts him to change it. He changes it and is then able to access SharePoint.
The remote users of our SharePoint site use non-domain computers, but they log in with AD accounts.
