UMRA – Bulk Web Based Active Directory Password Resets

So I’ve been looking over looking over some of the search entries on my site, and noticed that there has been a huge increate on Web Based Active Directory Password Resets in the last few weeks, so in this blog post I will try to show how you can make a UMRA based portal that allows for bulk Active Directory password resets. Ok so lucky me, I recently created such an option in a UMRA based portal for a major school district in Washington that was replacing a software suite called VISUAL CASEL with UMRA. So below is a quick screen shot of how an “Admin” can select a specific school from a list, and bring up all students within that school, keep in mind that this information is a composite set of data, not only getting information in real time from there Student Information System, but also get Active Directory also. After the “Admin” has selected his school, we will put this data into a dynamic grid, that can show really any information you want to show to the end user, grade, school, location, status etc. all of which can be sorted, and selected. From here, I created a button called “Change Passwords”. When the user selects this button it will pull up the “Change Password” or in other words “Reset Password” from up to the user. Now, here the Admin can type in the new password, confirm it, and hit reset. This will take all the users in the list where were selected, and buck reset there active directory password. Now don’t forget, all these actions are being logged / audit into a SQL database, so you can go in later and review who reset whose password, time/date etc.



So I hope this helps some of you out there who might have been searching for this topic, and or trying to figure out how to do this web based. So keep in mind that all the data pulls, and password resets either in one off scenario, or password resets in active directory in bulk are all done with UMRA.
