Hi Gang
A bit of an issue with the lovely Windows 10, :-P When a user connects to our wireless initially they need to enter their AD credentials. It connects and they can get on to the school network. So far so good.
When they have to change their AD password, every 42 days, they then do not get a prompt to enter the new AD password for the wireless connection.
Now I know about deleting the profile then recreating it, we use some specialised settings. The process for a couple of thousand users it is a pain as they are ALL BYOD. Most resets happen at the same time as the students start at the same time.
Does anyone have an idea how we can get the password change to force the wireless connection to prompt for a new password if it detects that the current stored password is wrong.
Remember these computers are not domain joined and will be various flavours of Windows 10. We need to reduce the workload on the 3 of us at password change time.

Hi,
The situation you described is normal, also, your current behavior is correct, we do could forget previous network profile to change saved network credential, however, we can’t see a prompt interface to change our credential like Windows 7 before, it’s by design.
Maybe you are interested in the following configurations, since your users don’t use domain accounts to login system, I am afraid that you can’t tick the option Automatically use my Windows logon name and password (and domain if any), without this option, users will have a prompt to enter credential every time, when their AD account’s password changed, this option does seems more convenient, but overall, this way is little more burdensome.

Hello Teemo,
The fact that there is no way to forget or change a password in Windows 10 is clearly a design limitation. Consider the following scenario which is common in Higher Education:
- A global consortium of hundreds of Universities uses a "eduroam" WPA-Enterprise network that authenticates the user by email address and password, using MS-CHAPv2 authentication and radius.
- Because it is international, usernames must be in the email address format. The "Automatically use my Windows logon" does not use this format; instead, it uses the SAMAccountName.
- If a University chooses to push the Group Policy out for this wireless network, then the user effectively has no mechanism to change their password. The "Forget" button on the network is grayed out.
- If the University does not push out a policy, then the user must manually configure the settings on the network related to security. All of these settings are lost every time the user clicks "Forget".
Yes, great design!

hi,
When domain user is changed the password after the password expiry,they need to apply new password in the wifi profile. For reducing this activity,shall i get any script for it.
