Recommendations for Mobile workforce Password change

My company has about 150 users of which 100 of them never access the
Corporate network. These are Webmail and Smartphone only users (they do not
have company issued PCs). The only reason the have an account in AD is for
email access. So I am looking for recommendations for password change
procedures, policies, and tools. We run Exchange 2007 and there is a
password change feature but the implementation is lacking. If you force a
password change (through domain policy) the user cannot log in to get to the
password change option once the password has expired.

We have Exchange 2007 and are at Windows 2003 active directory level. My
question is -- what are other companies in our situation doing. My only
option that I can think of is to instruct the users to change their
passwords then run reports to see who has done it and pester the ones who
did not. I would much rather just set a policy for periodic password
change and let the users handle it self service. What am I missing? Are
there other options? Any insight is appreciated.

Hi there,

We implemented a Password Self-Service solution called FastPass Password Manager. With that the user can change, reset and unlock thier accounts over the Internet - using either mobile or browser. Even has the ability to use SMS-pin codes as a token. Anyway - you might try that - http://www.fastpasscorp.com - got a good deal and good support...

Regards

Anders
