Hi Greg,
Requesting a password list from a client can never be a good idea. Put
those passwords on paper can be worse. Trust me, this is not the risk that
you want to take.
You can request an admin account from your customer, and logon to the
server with permission. You can ask your client's users to request Remote
Assistance, or use Remote Desktop/RWW to logon the computer for maintenance.
But getting the passwords directly? No...
Sincerely,

We are called on to make a variety of small changes that require us to log
as the user. In many instances, the user is not in that day or we do itover
their lunch time. With one particular client, no one knows anyone else'sthe
password. It took over an hour for me to install a printer driver because
user was constantly busy.to

We remotely manage most servers. When we get a list of user names and
passwords, it gets filed. Some companies require that users change
passwords
every xx days. What do you folks do to track those changes? There has
be a
better way than calling and asking for an update every month.
Thanks.
