Force all Domain users to Change password at next logon

[evans17]

Need some help here.

I am hoping for a better way the going to each user and checking the box.

Man i hope there is a better way.

Nope, no other way, unless you create a policy with a 1 day password expiration, then run a script that reboots everyone's PC at a certain time, then change the policy back from 1 day to what you want it to be.

i don't get it.

can't you just highlight all the users and then right-click | properties | "account" tab | "account options:" | check off "user must change password at next logon" | ?

Worth a shot. If not, try this.

Examples

All users must change password at next logon.
Dim Srv, Usr
Set Srv = CreateObject("UserManager.Server")
'Srv.Select "SERVER"
For Each Usr In Srv.Users
Usr.PasswordExpired = True
Next

Found it on the net.

Stick man that works in 2003 BUT not in 2000

if you script it (which is how i would do it in w2k), you may want to identify service accounts that have "password never expires" set to true. this could cause headaches with things like backups, sql server accounts, ect... if they are forced to change...

yea

When I setup user accounts I make sure that all boxes are not checked.

When I setup service accounts I alsways make sure password will never expire. SO i know that right

Any one of any other scripts to try?
