betty02 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Chaps, Anyone know a FREE easy password reset utility? Basically want the staff to minimise pupils being out of lessons so we want to try giving them a password utility, so need a utility where they will enter the username and just press a reset button. So something we can define the password to change too, and obviously force them change upon next login? Does this make sense?
fairm010 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 My IT teachers have access to Burconix Password reset on a network share and have delegated rights in AD to change the password. It is locked only to the students OU so they cannot reset staff passwords.
betty02 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Posted July 1, 2015 Does this require the IT teachers to type in a new password or just press reset. I am sure people will agree when I say I need this REALLY simple ha!
LeMarchand Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I tried this WiseSoft - Password Control. Active Directory Password Reset Tool. (may require sign up) and it seemed to work (have to give staff appropriate permissions). Used a teacher log in to check and it all seemed hunky dory. Teacher subsequently claimed it doesn't work. Never revisited so she may be correct, or (more likely) just couldn't be bothered.

The teacher must type in a new password. I'd be questioning your teachers sanity (and degrees for legitimacy) if they cant manage that.
betty02 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) They can do it, but we just sued to have one that did what I said. On our old network, and we can't change the .exe to point to our new AD etc, or know how to in all honesty. Downlaoded your suggested tool, looks decent to be fair will have a play now and see if I can publish it through S***Trix, sorry I mean Citrix! Edited July 1, 2015 by elsiegee40 Language
fairm010 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 This is the settings.xml we use for it. false false true LDAP://OU=Students,OU=Managed Users,DC=DMS,DC=local true DMS.local
theeggmaster Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 We use Burconix and it's simple, free and works fine for us.

MkII Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Another +1 for Wisesoft Clear and simple to use, you can check the user details against the AD record. Teachers love it.
eyetea Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 CJWDEV Password reset tool. Cjwdev | AD Account Reset Tool Apologies for the necro. I've looked in to setting this up - the only (major) issue I'm having is that when you search/browse for a user it's bringing up admin/tech/staff accounts. How would I go about restricting this tool the just student accounts?
