RE: No password expiration message/Can't change password

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi

1) User Accounts: "Can not Change Passwords" is UN-checked for all users.

2) Default Domain Policy: Local policies-security options: All that shows
(fully expanded) is Network Security
Policy: Network Security: Force logoff when logon hours expire.
Setting: Disabled.

Should there be something else?

I tried to simulate the event by making a dummy user and putting "must
change password at next logon" then accessing the account with Outlook:

At first I get a Must Change Password notice, Click Change Password, get
Change Successful. Close that window and back to logon using new password
gets
"Your logon information was incorrect. Check your uername and domain, then
type your password again. If your account is new or if your administrator
requested a password change you need to Click Change Password then logon with
your new password."

The only log event I see at this time are two Security Audits (see text
below) but nothine in either Appication Log or System:

Event ID: 535
User: NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM

Logon Failure:
Reason: The specified account's password has expired
User Name: ExchUser

Logon Type: 3

I don't see a way to set the password expiration period for an single
account. I would like to be able to test a fix (if there is one) for the
missing password expiration problem.
