The passwd cannot be changed in any way!
Passwd expire on 42 days, and nobody can change passwds
If a new account is created with the option you suggested, the same thing
occurs
A network monitor capture shows a error message in the SMB level
Last month i've disabled the SMB Sign Always option and the problem was
solved.
Now the problems comes back

What do you think about applying the COMPAT*.INF security template?
