How about a different approach?  Have a weekly task that looks at expiring
passwords.  It e-mails users that have fallen below a certain threshold.  We
used to have a task as such but is no longer used.  I can't find it or I
would offer it to you.  It shouldn't take you more than a few hours to code
though.

Thanks

Subject: [THIN] OT: Changing NT password through an SSL website

Hoping someone has seen someone do this or know of a way to do this.

A large number of my users are not connected to the domain.  This makes
it difficult to enable GPO's for expiring passwords every 90 days
because their ONLY interaction with something that can talk to the
domain is via website that require auth (NT Auth).

What I ideally want is to be able to set the password age in the GPO and
every time they auth to the website, it will check to see if that
parameter has been met, and if so, prompt them to change their password,
and then let them into the website.

If this cannot be done, my next step would be to manually set the "user
must change password and net logon" field and have something that checks
against this field every time they try to auth to a website.

This would be done via SSL so there are no plain text passwords.  It
would obviously have to be some kind of applications/ISAPI/ASP/whatever
that runs as the actual auth, instead of relying on the IIS auth.  I'm
just not sure if something exists,or can be coded to do this.
