Remote computer



This one should be fairly simple...

Let me try to explain this in few words. I'm setting up a laptop for a guy working from home. He's going to use a VPN to connect in to part of our network and access some terminal servers.

Long story short: At the moment of login, no DCs are reachable. (He hasn't even dialled the Internet yet, never mind authenticated into the VPN!)

That's fine - the laptop will use the cached password for the domain account. But... what happens when the user needs to CHANGE the password?

Of course, if you're on a terminal server, it's quite easy to change your password. And then our DC will use the new password. But how the hell will the laptop know about this? (This is compounded by the fact that our DC isn't actually accessible over the VPN. Apparently that would require additional hardware or something...)

I could just make the password never expire - but I'd really prefer not to if there's a way.

Any suggestions?
