Hi Steven,

Thank you for your update.

Based on your description, I believe this issue is somehow related to the
user password.

The first time when you tried logon, the new user password may not be
syncronized among all DCs.

I suggest you try to change the password before its deadline.

Log off and log on again.

Hope it helps.

Best Regards,

Jeff Qiu
