NimbostratusAD login synchronisation
folks
i have a pc which was on my corporate AD domain but i've moved it to a remote office and it now accesses the network by my F5, 6.0.2, over the internet
a day after the pc was moved his AD account expired so he had to reset his password
the user logs on to his pc using cached credentials and then once connected to the F5, using an account on an ACS server, he can logon to the network exchange server by entering his network credentials when prompted
my problem
he uses an application on the corporate lan which is looking for his domain credentials from his network logon but it doesn't prompt for them, it just collects and uses the credentials used to log onto the pc and as i said above, these have changed
is there anyway i can force his pc to synchronise with the coporate AD over the F5 so his PC logon credentials are updated
sorry if this is a bit long but hopefully its gave an accurate picture of my issue
thanks to anyone taking the time to reply or even to read this

The short answer is no, you have to develop a tool for this. Also whomever told you the application looks at AD is wrong, it is looking at the laptop credientials (Probably NTLM).

thanks for your reply
gratefully appreciated
i replicated the issue on my own vista machine and after a while connected to the f5 i get asked to lock/unlock my machine to update credentials and this works ok
the user is running XP Pro and this doesn't work
thanks again- Mike_61719I have not tested this with Vista but I know for sure it does not work with XP. Are you using the standalone client or the normal web logon?
