Self Service Password Resets

Hello list, I work for a public university and my manager has asked me to look into a self service password reset solution. We have many employees that do not work on campus or even in the same state (adjunct professors). Currently when they forget their password we have them go through several hoops to get their password reset, including faxing over some ID and having their department head contact us. This was originally designed to be a hassle in hopes that we wouldn't get very many "repeat customers" for forgetting their passwords. Anywho, I was wondering what solutions other people out there are using for this type of thing? Ideally we would like something that a user could go to from their web browser at home or any computer not on our network and they would be forced to answer a series of challenge questions (I know this brings up the point of them forgetting the challenge questions too but let's not even go there). We use MS Active Directory so that would also be a requirement for the solution. Thanks in advance! -Josh C ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: InfoSec Institute No time or budget for traveling to a training course in this fiscal year?
