User-Force-Change-Password

Folks,

As I have said, starting July 04th 11th, 2016, I'm going to start addressing vital matters of global cyber security.

Today, I just wanted share a picture with you, because as they, "A picture is worth a 1000 words" -

Password Reset Analysis on a random user, say Satya Nadella.

Well, this one's worth a proverbial $ Billion. (You may not yet understand why I say so, but in days to come, you will.)

Stay tuned...

Best wishes,
Sanjay

PS: Today's post was on an Active Directory extended right called Reset Password, the CN for which is User-Force-Change-Password and its Rights-GUID is 00299570-246d-11d0-a768-00aa006e0529. To some its just an extended right, to others it could be the key(s) to the Kingdom.

PS2: If you know how to press a mouse button, and want to know who can reset your password today, or that of any colleague (such as a Domain Admin or your CEO), you can now do so, our compliments (i.e. free), using this tool. On that note, the astute mind will also profoundly appreciate the importance and value of this.
