Hi Everyone, long time reader first time poster. LOL
I have a customer with 500ish users and they want to reset everyones passwords, to the same so they are forced to have a complex password. How can this be done - selecting all the users and right clicking does not work.. any ideas...
Thanks

Ry

It's tedious but you can go into the users account profiles and check the "user must change password at next login" box.

In the future, you may want to set an expiration on the passwords.

Curt, what if you used group policy to set a higher security level on all users passwords and then pushed the new policy. would that force everyone to change theirs at that time or would it actually lock them out? Just wondering if there was anotehr way to do it versus openeing everyones account up for one checkbox...
