Hammering It Down Your Memory With Active Directory Password Reminder

By Katina Brady


Those who say that managing the flow of information inside a company is a piece of cake surely have not tried being on the job itself. Its more than just monitoring what comes out and what not. It also involves filtering these pieces of information to see which among them is of high priority and the like. Its a job that cannot be done a one person alone.

Companies who want to limit the flow of business information within the premise and withing their employees use a system that allows every client to log in using their chosen username and password to access the needed information. Active Directory Password Reminder is among this system. This is primarily used to remind employees if their log in info is already close to expiring.

This has a simple task, but one that is often ignored by the staff. It reminds everyone of the need to change their passwords as its expiration draws close. Theres a separate team handling the inputting of data on the system which includes the dates when certain personnel should receive the reminders.

Since the staff is given the authority to issue commands, they can very well detail how often the messages should appear. They can also send it both the cell phones of the persons and to their company email address. Unless you change your password, the notifications will keep on coming up. Be mindful that when you reached the expiration and you still did not make any change, you may not be able to access important business documents.

The notifications will also not be received by everyone at once. Schedules can be different for different departments or for different positions. For instance, the admin can schedule those who are heads of their departments to have the same day of notification sending. Their members can receive it some other time.

Theres a lot of money to the classified info found on the company's database. When these data are sold out to the wrong hands, the business can suffer great losses. This is why companies invest thousands even millions of money to make sure that their information is well protected. Otherwise, the damage can be priceless.

Ideally, passwords have to be changed every 6 months. But it can be sooner depending on the threat of theft faced by the company or a person in the company. Oral reminder to change log in information is no longer effective. Heads has to do something to force the change internally, thus the birth of the system.

You cannot just underestimate what breach to company data can mean to you on a personal level. As part of the company, you have your own personal information recorded on its directory. Meaning, you are not exempted to the risk. The best way you can do to contribute to your personal and to the overall safety of the company is to adhere with the established rules and regulations.

Be responsible with your tenure with the employer and do your share. There are bad entities waiting to take the shot. Don't ever give them the chance by being too complacent.
