Changing/Adding Self Service Password Challeneg Questions
We currently use SSPR functionality of FIM 2010 R2 and we are looking to add additional challenge questions.  I am unclear on how this will impact users already registered and haven't been able to confirm the answer.  If a user is already registered for our current questions and we add say 5 more questions to choose from (in addition to current ones), will they be required to re-register or will it only impact them should they choose to register again.  We would not be removing or changing the current questions.  Thanks!

If you modify the existing password reset AuthZ workflow(including adding/removing questions), it will require a re-registration for the registered users. 

They will not be able to reset their password until they do so. They will receive an error saying "An error has occured, please contact the system administrator". This is because their registered and reset workflows are different.

No way to avoid that?  The idea of adding questions forcing 2500+ users to re-register is terrible.  Thanks for the info by the way.
