Re: SBS 2003 Premium, user changes password and loses network share access

There isn't a local account of the same name. And the problem is fixed by
recreating a local profile?

A thought...

Log onto the XP workstation with an admin account:

Control Panel | User Accounts | Advanced | Manage Passwords

Remove all the entries for the problematic user. Log off. Reboot. Log
on as the user (or have him log on) and test the his access to shares,
mapped drives, etc.

Strange issue, got around it by creating a new local profile on the
workstation for the user.

Basically the policy on the server requires a new password every x days.
so the user changed their password. immediately they lost mapped drives,
got prompted for internet acess and outlook. A reboot, a gpupdate, made
no difference.

The same user could login on other PC's with no issue. and other users
could login fine aswell. The odd part was when prompted for credentials
instead of "domainname\user" the field had "server\user" of course
changing this didn't help and even using other credentials resulted in a
error (Multiple connections to the same resource with different
credentials isn't allowed)

This is the second time the problem has occurred on this workstation. The
users password is now set to not expire, so it wont reoccur, but I'm at a
loss to understand why it happened.

Anyone know why ?

Cheers
Aart
