Hello Fred,

Thank you for your post. I am afraid that you may not notice my response.
Generally this problem could occur if the account contains NetWare account
attributes. Please check if the problem can be resolved by running the "Net
user <username> /fpnw:no" command. Thanks!

|Oddly enough the password will be changed for the AD account but we get
this
|error message.
|
|Windows cannot complete the password change for <username> because: The
|system cannot find the file specified.
|
|
|Any Ideas?

|Thanks,
