Forcing Domain Users to Change PW

Comment:
Should a user log onto the domain the options to force the user to change his/her password works. However, if they log on to their workstations locally then they can access the network resources via shares w/o being challenged to change passwords. Is there a way to force a user connecting to a resource via a share to change his/her password?

Simple, don't allow users to logon locally to the PC's. Make them authenticate to the domain controller.

If the shares were setup correctly, then the users would have to authenticate with their Domain User accounts and passwords. If the profile is set to change the password then the authentication should fail.
I'm totally with Curt on this. Why are you allowing them to have local accounts, and if for some reason they temporarily need to login with Admin (locally), then they shouldn't have permission to access any shares.
