> The company I work for has several remote users that currently dial-in to
a RAS server to connect to our domain from home.  Due to the nature of our
company's business all users are required to change their passwords every 30
days.  The problem is that our remote users are not particularly tech savy
and don't always remember there password change also applies to their home
connection.  The problem most often is caused by them using the "Save
username password..." check box on the dial-up connection.

through Group Policy, the Knowledge Base, and I've done a few basic registry
searches, but to no avail.  Any suggestions, or is this even possible?
