Forget Password wizard

I have 3000+ exchange users and most of the time they forget the password and we reset it for them. again problem is this happens on phone. so no guaranty that user it self has requested to change/reset the password.

Can any one know if it is possible on MS Exchange, to reset the users email password using some thing like "Forget Password wizard" as we do on yahoo/gmail/hotmail etc. where user has to answer some secret question and will reset the password after that, forcing them to change it after it has been reseted.

I have never seen such an option but I am sure it is out there, OWA is made for full customization. I would search the internet to see if someone has written the code for this.

I suspect that you would have to use website integration and synchronization with exchange server. I wish you luck with your 3000+ plus users!

P.S. If was confronted with such a problem I would do the simpler solution of setting a mailbox for each user on the ISP side or your Website Domain site and have outlook forward all the email to the external address.

So in otherwords the exchange e-mail password would never change while the external ones that the users would use could be changed by the users at any time and even if they forget, there is a wizard that would guide them to reset it. Use your ISP or Domain Provider to take care of this problem. All you have to do is create the email addresses and setup forwarding from Exchange.

Good Luck!

Thanks for your attention to my problem
Your solution is no doubt excellent, but It dose not suit in my environment.
because from my organization only corporate email from our exchange server is allowed no gmail/yahoo etc is allowed.
There is some thing I found on net which needs to modify schema in AD to addon password reset functionality. to AD and So exchange users.

I'm a newbie to VB.NET, and so far have used the wizard to generate connection strings to an Oracle database. In the wizard, the userid and password are hard coded into the connection string. Is there any way I can get a userid and password from Windows XP registry, or dynamically load the userid and password at runtime? If so, how does one reference a variable in the connection string? Thanks in advance for your help. Mark

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
