Re: Password Reset and Unlock unable to disable..

Even though the pick is there, if the delegation is done correctly they will not be able to do a reset or unlock. You should probably dump the ACL for a user with dsacls and post it.

If you mean password reset is still in the right click options, you are correct, that is displayed for everyone, it isn't based on actual permissions on the objects.

I'm an access administrator for a company to maintain users account in AD. I had created a user account for helpdesk to have a view only on AD but the problem is that the password reset option and account unlock is still available when the helpdesk search for a user and look at the details. What went wrong here?? Is there any security permission i missed out in the built-in group or any group ?? and I have don;t have the full administration access to modify certain group or security permission but I able to view it . If you could help me to pinpoint which part of AD to look at then I could raise up an issue to the server administrator.. Thank you
