Either that or we're both off our rockers : -). I would have the user
change the password again - boot up the workstation and hit the change
password button on the login prompt to reset before even logging into
Windows.

By the way, any errors logged on the SBS or the workstation? Do you have
security logging enabled to a level where you'd see a successful password
change? Anything else in the security logs that might be a starting point
for troubleshooting?

My perception of this is the same as yours - either the password agrees, or
it doesn't. I've reserched this a little and had, at the time, a good
understanding of what is supposed to happen in the login and change password
functions.

If anyone else has comments about this, I'd love to hear them.
