The problem is that, I need to find a way to deploy this without having to restart the computer. As long as the user restarts their computers. bat file which installs a program at startup. run batchfile at logon from locked session Windows.Honestly, I can't even think of a situation where it wouldn't make sense to at least notify the users boss and give them the password that you are resetting it to, so that the user can get that info without needed to call in and say 'Hey, my password suddenly isn't working, but I've been using it all day, I think I've been hacked!' I'm not saying that situations don't come up like this, but I absolutely am saying that I've never seen one where that's both what needed to happen, AND I couldn't get supervisor's approval and/or notice to the user before taking the action. If it's that 'standard' for you, I'd be willing to bet the change in my pocket that there are some best practices or at least better options for what you are doing, that you are overlooking. Needing to reset a password to temporarily gain access to a users account is pretty standard stuff. I.T.'s job is to keep staff/data safe and working. That is an interesting point of view but not very realistic in my experience. Unless someone with far more authority in the matter tells you that you should be resetting their password so that they can't log in again until they speak with you, then that is the last thing that you should be doing. I definitely wouldn't think that professionals are suggesting changing a users password without consulting/notifying them first.
