What I want to add is for all of the *new* accounts to cause a forced reset of the password at first login, no matter how long it takes for them to get to logging in. Everyone's initial password is (something like) ChangeMeOnLogin and I just don't want those to persist.
When doing things like that, don't forget that some people won't know how to change their passwords. Some people barely manage to type their own name to log on... I had great fun ribbing mum about that the other week.
We have always set-up new users and their restriction on an individual basis. This is also the same for MS products. What else do you need? You can copy an individuals permissions but passwords are always based on an individual account creation.
