RE: Password expires for no apparent reason

Hi Steve,

I just have a few questions I would like you to answer to gain a better
understanding of the issue.

What is the verbatim error that the users experience when you know the
users password needs to be reset?
How many users are experiencing this problem? Is it possible that they
have just forgotten their password?

If you try to log on to a Windows 2000 or XP desktop that is joined to the
domain with one of these problem accounts what is the error that you
receive?

Please run "net accounts" from the command line on a domain controller and
post the results so we can verify the domain password policy.


Hope this helps,

Our users login to our sharepoint portal and AD does the username and
password check.

We having the occurance that passwords have to be reset for a random group
of users every few weeks.

However, there's no password expiration set, there no account lockout if
too
many failed tries, no inactivity lockout, etc.

Any ideas? Thanks
