Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When a user's password has expired, they cannot log into WAC. Currently the only way to reset or change your own password through WAC, is to use the RDP tool to RDP to a server, and the send a ctrl+alt+delete in the remote server and select change password. Resetting a user's password through the Active Directory tool, requires the user to reset their password at login, which locks them out of WAC.

Describe the solution you'd like When signing into WAC, a prompt to reset your password when it has expired or has been reset. An option or function in WAC to change your password before it expires.

Describe alternatives you've considered Setting user's password to never expire. Have an admin reset the password through the Active Directory tool, which requires the user to change their password at login, and locks them out of WAC. Have an admin RDP to the domain controller or pc with RSAT tools to change the user's password without it expiring. This is not ideal as the admin would know the users password, and the user would need to rdp to a server to change it afterwards.
