Re: Resetting password on logon - OWA/Exchange

It says PasswordChangeFlags (INTEGER) 6

So I just need to run the command to set it to 0, and then see if the issue is resolved?

First see what value the passwordchangeflags is set to. Make sure it
is set to 0.


C:\InetPub\AdminScripts> cscript adsutil.vbs get w3svc
\PasswordChangeFlags

Thanks!

So there's no need to do this step:

2. Register the IISpwchg.dll file in the Iisadmpwd directory: a. Click
Start, and then click Run.
b. In the Open box, type the following, and then press ENTER:
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\iisadmpwd\iispwchg.dll

? Just run the Passwordchangeflag alone and see what happens?
