How are you going to handle the news that Microsoft is pulling most of their Forefront product line?  I know they are 
going to provide support for a couple more years, but - it feels like they are leaving us hanging??

Subject: Re: [SECURITY] Password Reset
We have recently implemented the Microsoft Forefront Identity Management (FIM) password portal and it has worked very 
nicely for us to provide a mechanism to for users to reset their own passwords.  Part of our Google Apps for Education 
migration process required all users to reset their passwords.  We used this time to implement FIM, register reset 
questions, change passwords, and sync those passwords with Google.  In addition, the portal works well as the location 
Google sends users to change passwords via the Google change password links.

As we move further into distance learning and remote locations, how are you handling users who forgot their password?  
Do you have software in place that allows users to reset their own passwords?  Was it purchased or written in-house?   
If you don’t have any software that does this is it cost or security concerns that are presenting the biggest road 
blocks?
