On your first question, here's a thought ... are the
passwords of these users already expired? If so they
most likely tried to login too many times and the account
will be locked then changes can't be made. When they
call to get their pw reset - give them a "temporary"
password and force them to change it at next logon.
Remember to unlock the account too.
