    There is a way in OWA to enable the ability for users to change their
    passwords.

    2003.htm

    as far as when to remember it, I would suggest perhaps a reoccurring
    appointment in their calendar with a reminder for every 90 days,
    starting the day before their password expires perhaps?

    Another option would be to run full outlook via a terminal server, or
    something like that forcing them to login to something, but that might
    be a little overkill.

    Subject: active directory password policy

    Does anyone have any experience with remote users who do not login to
    the domain on a regular basis or at all, and have a password expiration
    policy in effect? We can't seem to come up with a good plan to handle
    these users. They only occassionally access domain resources such as
    webmail via the Internet or an internal website to do timesheets via
    vpn, and will not have the luxury of logging on to a machine connected
    to our LAN and getting the warning about soon to expire passwords. If
    our policy dictates passwords expire every 90 days, how can we avoid the

    inevitable calls regarding password resets?

    thx
