Re: Resetting password on logon - OWA/Exchange

I changed the passwordchangeflags value from 6 to 0.

The change did not resolve my issue; also, what is happening now is that
after I reset the password and flag the option to have user change password
on OWA login, instead of typing in the reset password and getting a "the user
name or password that you entered is not valid. Try entering it again...."
message on the OWA logon page, I get an an HTTP error 403 - Forbidden:
"Access is denied. (IIS) - You are not authorized to view this page".

1. Is there a way to change the login page back to where it just tells the
user that the user name or password they entered is not valid, instead of
that IIS page?

2. Since the changepasswordflags 0 change didn't work, do I have to go
through with doing the hotfix?

Yes; must be set to 0.


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

It says PasswordChangeFlags (INTEGER) 6

So I just need to run the command to set it to 0, and then see if the issue
is resolved?

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 -
