Dial Up networking issues

Here is the current state:

1. User is disconnected an logs into Windows XP tablet pc using cached
user credentials.
2. User completes working on clinical applications and needs to dial-up to
network to upload updates to enterprise database.
3. Behind the scenes the Windows domain server has expired the user's
password.
4. User uses a Windows dial-up connection to connect to the network.
5. The cached user credentials are sent, but are rejected due to the
password being expired. The user gets a username / password incorrect error.
6. User calls help desk about problem and help desk resets the password.

Alternate current state:

1. User is disconnected an logs into Windows XP tablet pc using cached
user credentials.
2. User completes working on clinical applications and needs to dial-up to
network to upload updates to enterprise database.
3. Behind the scenes the Windows domain server has expired the user's
password.
4. User logs out of Windows XP.
5. User enters user name and password into Windows XP login screen. Also,
the user checks the "dialup networking" check box.
6. User presses enter and the Windows XP system dials up the VNSNY network
server.
7. User is notified that their password has expired and needs to enter a
new one.
8. User enters new password and is now on the network.

In both scenarios the Windows dialup connection is the same, it is just
accessed differently. Is there a way to avoid the log out process to enable
dialup networking so that the user can click on a desktop icon, connect to
the network, be notified of the password expired event, and allow them to
change their password.

Here is the desired future state:
1. User is disconnected an logs into Windows XP tablet pc using cached
user credentials.
2. User completes working on clinical applications and needs to dial-up to
network to upload updates to enterprise database.
3. Behind the scenes the Windows domain server has expired the user's
password.
4. User uses a Windows dial-up connection to connect to the network.
5. The cached user credentials are sent.
6. User is notified that their password has expired and needs to enter a
new one.
7. User enters new password and is now on the network.


Any body have any ideas on how to do this ?

Hi Murty,
Inorder to change your expired domain password on a remote machine you
have to go through the windows logon dialup only (connect on winlogon). The
behaviour you are experiencing is By Design.

Thanks,
Dinesh.
