Password reset ability for office staff

[JordanT91]

My job role is changing so I'll be spending a lot less time on IT. I'm looking into buying in some IT support a couple of times a week, but I need the office staff to be able to reset pupils' AD passwords and check usernames when the support is not on site.

 

The tricky part is that the office staff all use county council PCs, not school PCs. They are unable to run any applications, so cjwdev isn't possible unfortunately (it looked perfect), and neither is a cut down MMC. It would need to be some sort of web portal. The obvious solution is Office 365 AD writeback, but this isn't possible with our A1 Plus subscription.

 

Has anyone got any idea how I can do this with little or no cost?

It's unfortunate, as RSAT with delegated rights would be perfect for this.

Maybe try something like logonbox ? free version should be sufficient, web based ad/password management.

Can you not put a PC in the office just for the purpose of this? Or do you have a terminal service you can install it on and they RDP onto that?

Would be possible with the P1 license but comes at a cost of around £6 (depending where you buy it from) per staff member. For every staff license you buy, you get 15 student licenses for free.

It's looking like that's what I'll need to do...

Won't work unfortunately, the County PCs are locked down and can't run executables.
