G-Suite Student Passwords

[techie17]

Hi

 

I have setup the sync of users and passwords from AD to G suite however when students login for the first time, its asking them to change their password which i dont want as they should be sync'd with AD. How can i disable this?

 

Thanks

The passwords only sync when they are changed (in AD) Edited October 7, 2020 by dmj

Not this problem exactly as we don't sync, but we have a few testing accounts on GSuite and yesterday I needed to try something out on one of them.

 

I couldn't remember the password so I reset it from the admin console (making sure that I unticked change password on next sign-in).

 

When I logged in it asked me to change the password...

There is a tickbox in GCDS that forces users to change password at first login. You probably have that as on.

Ahh Found it. So as all the users currently in G-Suite have the change password enabled, whats the best way of changing this?

Download a CSV of the users, and change the force password change column from TRUE to FALSE and then reupload it.

Worked a treat, thanks.

 

Just out of interest, does google classroom need Google Drive to work? We also use Onedrive so im trying not to have docs store in google drive as well.

Very much so!

I'm sure someone has a trick somewhere, but I haven't seen it.

Classroom does require Drive as it makes folders to store everything in and manages them for you.....in your Google Drive.

 

If you try to use Classroom with Microsoft Office files you'll find it's a lot more awkward than using G Suite native files too.

If you have GAM setup you can use this, It will just cycle through all the accounts in your AD updating the flag using GAM.

$students = Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "ou=students,dc=domain,dc=name  | select userPrincipalName

foreach($student in $students) {
gam update user $student.userPrincipalName changepassword off
}
