Re: User Cannot Change Password option unchecks itself???

Do you have the rights to amend that account? (Right Click, Properties,
Security)?

I've got a strange issue. I have an account that is being used as a
network
service account. Because it's a service account, I don't want anyone or
any
program accidentally changing the password so I selected the option of
"User
cannot change password". However, once I check and apply it, if I go back
into the account properties later, the option is no longer checked.

There are no group policies that I can find that would affect this. Is
there any other reason why this option might myseriously uncheck itself?

Thanks.

Jason
