The perfect excuse to buy an iPhone 4
Most of the phone calls the AD service desk receives are about user accounts that have been disabled or forgotten passwords.
This is a small task to handle if you have a task pad of ADUC in front of you.
It’s Saturday and you are watching a Tottenham game with a fellow Spurs fan at his place. You receive a call from your boss that has forgotten his AD password. He tells you reset his password *now*!
Your friend doesn’t have an Internet connection, so you have to get down to the office to reset his bloody password. Arrrgg!
I just bought an iPhone 4 and downloaded an app called “AD Helpdesk”. If you have one, you can watch the game and please your boss at the same time.
Setup a VPN connection on the phone to reach your internal network and start the App.
Search AD for his username and just reset his password from the app.
