Force all users to reset pws -every 30days?

[C. M. Williams]

Hi,

What are the commands and whole process to force all users in the domain to reset pws every 30 days or so?

Hi Williams,

There is no such commands wherein you can parameterize to change password after 30 day but you can always bulk reset the password at one go, i recently did for 2000 users.

Put four columns in you spreadsheet 1. Email address 2. password 3. GAM command 4. Bulk formule (= A1,B1,C1)[drag for rest of your 1999 users and put it in command line).This will force the user to change the password at next login.

Lemme know if it works :)

BR,

Shan

If you want to reset passwords for some or all accounts, Vivek's response is correct.  If you want to require some or all users to change their own password on their next log-in, there is another option.  You can combine the GAM bulk operations options with the "update user" command.

Bulk operations: https://goo.gl/OXD4eu - bottom part of the section discusses shell pipes (the | symbol) used below  The examples also show how to apply the command to users in a specific OU (or other query options - https://goo.gl/WVefXt )

The "update user" command: https://goo.gl/GGHTyw - includes an option to require a pasword change on next log-in

This command will require all accounts to change to a new password on next sign-on:

gam print users | gam csv - gam update user ~primaryEmail changepassword on

Be careful when you do anything to "all" accounts.  That will include admin accounts, role accounts, etc.  If you want to apply the command just to your human users you probably want to use the query option on "gam print users" to act on smaller sub-sets of accounts in specific OUs.

If you take this command and write a BASH script you can CRON it to run every 30 days.

Hi Brian,

gam update user <email add of user> password  'newpassword' 

If you want  to do it for bulk users, simply put dynamic values in your spreadsheet and in the third column write down the gam command.

Feel free to reach me for any clarification.
