What is Specops uReset?
Do you have an overloaded helpdesk? Specops uReset saves IT time with self-service password resets.
Users can securely reset their Active Directory passwords and refresh their local cache credentials right from their Windows logon screens - even when they are not connected to a VPN. This results in fewer password reset calls to the IT service desk, whilst maintaining security with multi-factor authentication, trusted network locations, and geo-blocking.
Specops uReset Main Benefits
Works for hybrid and remote teams
- From the Windows logon screen, remote users can change expired or forgotten passwords and get back to work faster.
- Provides easy troubleshooting by updating local cached credentials, even when a Domain Controller cannot be reached and the user is off VPN.
- Having fewer password reset calls means more IT team time for other tasks and lower service desk costs.
Flexible MFA options
- Users can verify their identity using third-party identity providers including: Duo Security, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Okta, PingID, Symantec VIP, and Yubikey.
- The availability of multiple authentication options guarantees that users will be able to reset their passwords even if there is no identity provider available.
- By blocking password resets and other sensitive actions until end-user ID verification has been completed, IT teams can enforce user ID verification.
Simple auto-enrollment and enforcement
- Admins can enroll users automatically in the password reset system using any identity provider in Active Directory with identifier information.
- Users can also be directed to the enrollment process through notifications, such as emails, balloon tip pop-ups, or a full-screen browser when logging into Windows.
- uReset also offers various reports to help you keep track of your enrollment progress.
