RE: 12,216 Occurrences of event ID 537 , all password has to be reset

Hi Joe,

Thanks for posting here.

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: all of the users cannot
login, because all user passwords have expired. If I am off base, please
feel free to let me know.

Based on my knowledge, in Windows SBS 2003, when you complete integrated
installation, by default, the Maximum password age setting is 40 days. So
the user account password will expire after 40 days. Please refer to the
following knowledge base article to solve this issue:

How to log on to Windows XP if you forget your password or your password
expires

I hope the above information helps.

Have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Steven Zhu
