We recently had to do a mass password change. We forced a password change at
next logon for each OU in active directory. The problem is if a user is
already logged in, and we force a password change at next logon they can no
longer access outlook. It gives them a login box. I suppose that is becuase
it somewhat resets the password. I dont fully understand why it does that
though. I need an understaning so I can explain it to the boss. Are there
any white papers out there that can help out???

It's not that they can't login to Exchange, its that they no longer have an
account that is authenticated because they must change the password at next
login. Next login is technically the next time they need to get to a
network resource they haven't been to before or that has expired the
credentials already presented.

How'd you force the password change. Expire the passwords? Or did you go
through with script and flip the bit "User must change password at next
logon" ? I suspect the latter, but figured I'd ask.

I've never seen the information you're looking for explicitly stated. It's
implied and it's not unexpected however.
