    Set the 'password does not expire' flag and make a note in your outlook
    calender to call them every few months and get them to reset the
    password either over the phone with one of your IT staff, onsite (if
    they're ever onsite) or via terminal services.

    I badger my remote staff whenever they're onsite (usually once a month)
    and have them do it every few times they're here. Unfortunately, I
    haven't found any more intelligent or efficient way of doing it than
    this.
