Software for the new IT Teacher to reset passwords

[LukeAdl]

Hello All, I am looking for a piece of selfhosted software that would be able to reset passwords for the student accounts and that will hide the teacher logins. Is there any pieces of software you would recommend?

 

Thank you!!

In the past I've used this

You can lock it down to the students OU in AD so staff accounts are safe.

Can you not add a custom MMC for the staff users to do this? We do this in our Primary School as they have no onsite IT support.

Use powershell and email. I wrote some code to do this a while ago and have often mentioned it on here. Need to dig it out and dust it off and refractor now. Thats what I would be telling you to do. But I would all so say look at a propper solution for SSPR so that your staff and students are able to reset their own passwords if you can. MIM is free if you use Azure AD!

 

Just had a quick play can connect to an O365 mailbox using the graph API read a message that had come in picked out the details and moved the mail to a subfolder, then its use the detail from the mail and get PowerShell to change the password for the requested user (I have just used a static password but you can use PS to generate a random password) then send a mail back to the requester with the password that has been set. An hours worth of playing and the bones of a PS script is done, you then just secure the mailbox so that only a subset of your users can mail into that mailbox and if you really want you could get PS to check for an attribute on the staff account as a double check valve affair.

Easiest one to setup by far! I just added it to my remote apps server and did a couple changes in the AD and the IT teacher is now very happy

 

Thank You!

I have RSAT on ICT suite teacher machines with control delegated to student user OU for password reset for all staff.
