Users only using OWA + change password at next logon

[Per Hagstrom]

We have some users that really never logon to a workstation, but they do
need their email, which they will check through OWA. (Exchange 2003)

How do we handle those users as far as password expiration and "User must
change password at next logon" (after creating a new user) goes?

It seems like both of those things only popup if you logon to a workstation
joined to the domain, but not through OWA, at least not by default?

Any suggestions really appreciated!

TIA!!

Hmm... kinda cryptic... does that mean OWA will actually notify you when
your password is about to expire, using this hotfix? (which I actually might
already have since it's supposed to be included with SP1?)

Thanks James!

I have no idea! But since it is a hotfix and it is acknowledging these
issues then I guess so.

[Per Hagstrom]

For anyone interested, I called Microsoft and got free support on this case.
And now it actually is working if the password is expired or the "Change
password at next logon" is checked, OWA redirectes you when you login, to a
"you have to change your password" page.

The important part is you have to set the right settings on the IISADMPWD
virtual directory, to set the security to "Enable anonymous access" and
"Basic auth".

Hope that helps somebody else out there with the same problem?! :)
