Change passwords with Exchange

[bwatkins14]

Is there a way to allow users to change passwords during login for the OWA client. I make my users change passwords every 120 days but when this time comes, my users that access OWA email only cannot login. Does anyone know of a way to fix this? Thanks for any help.

Password change support in OWA is disabled by default, but can be enabled. The following article should show you how to enable it:

I'll just tell you now, it's not just a matter of checking a checkbox.

Thanks for the post Shack! I did find this article and already set this up. My problem is that this only allows you to change the password from within exchange. When a users password expires the OWA does not let them login, so I need to be able to change the password on the login page. Have you are anyone else been able to make this work.
Thanks

I don't know of a good solution for you besides setting the passwords on those accounts not to expire and demanding very complex passwords of them.

For a while I used a couple of obscure ASCII characters (ALT+three numbers) in my passwords to make things more complicated for any potential keystroke loggers, but then I noticed that a couple of legacy systems in my network wouldn't let me log on. ?
