Sending users an email when they change there windows
password.

I have users that i want to send an email when they change
there passwords. I need to be able to customise the email
to.

Thanks for any help

I don't understand - you want to automatically generate an e-mail to users
when they manually change their passwords ? I can't think that this is
possible, at least not natively. If I've misunderstood, please repost....
 
The story goes....


I have users that VPN in to the network and there routers
connect to the VPN i.e. they do not need to type in the
password each time.

The problem lies when the users change there passwords on
AD it does not change there local router passwords i just
need an email to remined them to do this.
 
Yeah this is a fun one. There are several ways to attack it.

1. Set up a web page and only allow password changes through it, then have the
web page change the password and send the email. You will also need to take away
the right for the users to change their passwords in AD.

2. Set up a password change notification filter which is non-trivial to get it
done right. Then install it on all Domain Controllers.

3. Monitor the pwdLastSet attribute on the IDs in question. When it gets updated
you warn the users.

Note, if this is a security mechanism... It isn't a good one. If I change
someone's password on them there isn't much stopping me from going in and
deleting the email you just sent...
