Force change password for windows (cisco PCA)

j.bilodeau · ‎04-05-2007

Unity 4.2.with IMAP. Is there a way to force password change (like TUI) for windows password so that when a user log in for the first time in Cisco PCA, he would be prompt to change his password? Is it on the table to have user change password as they can do in ccmuser? Thank you very much for your help..

Unless this is a unified messaging solution, currently i dont think there is any way to change the windows password of the user which you define locally in the Unity VM only server. The user will have request the admin to change the password for him. IF using Unified messaging, most likely your Unity server is integrated to Corporate AD domain. So if you enforce changing the windows password of user every X number of days, PCA password is automatically changed when the user changes his password.
