Re: Resetting password on logon - OWA/Exchange

First see what value the passwordchangeflags is set to. Make sure it
is set to 0.


C:\InetPub\AdminScripts> cscript adsutil.vbs get w3svc
\PasswordChangeFlags

Thanks!

So there's no need to do this step:

2. Register the IISpwchg.dll file in the Iisadmpwd directory: a.  Click
Start, and then click Run.
b.  In the Open box, type the following, and then press ENTER:
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\iisadmpwd\iispwchg.dll

?  Just run the Passwordchangeflag alone and see what happens?

Don't do the hotfix just yet; just do the PasswordChangeFlags to 0
first.

C:\InetPub\AdminScripts> cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc
\PasswordChangeFlags 0

FIX: You experience various problems when you use the Password Change
pages in IIS 6.0

I had a user who is on business travel contact me and asked if I could reset
her network/Exchange password so that she could once again access her email
via OWA 2007.  

I went to ADUC, reset her password to a default simple password, and then
selected the option to have the user reset her password upon next logon.  The
user then goes to the OWA page, pops in her credentials, but OWA doesn't
accept them.  She tries a few times, then calls me back.  I repeat the same
process, ask her to try it again, and still a no go.  I then confirm the
problem by going to OWA and trying to log on as her.

WORKAROUND:  What I ended up doing is going to ADUC, resetting her password
to the default password, then going back into the user account and going to
the Account tab and flagging the option to have the user change her password
on logon.  The user logs on with the default password, gets into OWA
successfully, selects the option near the top of her list of messages to
change her password, and she does so.  After resetting her password, she is
sent back to the logon screen, and from there she can log in normally..

I completely don't mind doing this type of workaround to get it to work, but
is there a reason why she wasn't able to get into her OWA mailbox when I
tried reset the password and flagged the option to change her password upon
logon?  Again, it seems to work with the workaround listed above, but I find
this all a bit odd.- Hide quoted text -
