These are good things to do to secure the connection while they are changing
the password, but you still need a script, probably an ADSI script, to
actually change the password. www.iisfaq.com almost certainly has sample
code. OR, search www.google.com or www.microsoft.com/support for "ADSI
script change password" to find sample code to do this. You'd probably also
need to use ADSI to try to detect if the password was locked out and to
force them to a password change screen. It's difficult to force a remote
user to change his or her password reliably.
Password expiration and change issues are tricky for remote users. IIS does
not always check or deny access for users that have the "password expired"
attribute set, and does not automatically redirect these users to a change
password screen.
www.iisfaq.com answers most of these types of questions.
