Re: "Please change your password at another machine"

It seems you have intentionally configured your systems so that if communication is lost / interrupted to the PC, users can't authenticate to the domain to unlock. If you insist on making sure that is the situation remains that way, then there isn't much I can suggest.

That is NOT a solution. It's not even a good workaround. What we need is a direct causal link - we need to know what generates this message and under what conditions. Someone at Microsoft should know where this message comes from.

Then the only option I see remaining is log off the user instead on locking the PC.

Until there's a solution, the situation won't change. The reason that we have caching disabled is that it was causing lockout issues with users who log on to multiple computers. As a result, we will not be enabling that again.

As for Power Saving, we don't forsee turning this back on any time in the future.

Has the situation changed? I would turn the caching on, and leave power saving Off.

Caching has been disabled and we've turned off Power Saving on system devices.

Is the caching the users passwords disabled on the PCs in question? And is perhaps the NIC being turned off by the operating system when the PC is locked?

Users in a domain lock their computers. When they return and attempt to unlock the computer they are unable. We have confirmed that the user account is not locked. After resetting the user's password they receive the following message when they attempt to unlock the computer:

"Please change your password at another machine and retry or contact your Domain Administrator".

Users are not allowed back into the computer. Our only workaround has been to reboot the computer. Once the system has been rebooted the users can log in.
