Re: Users unable to change passwords when prompted

Did you check with the password I suggested?

Event logs?


How/where did you create the policy?

Check their ADUC properties to make sure there is no tickbox next to
"user cannot change password"

or it does not meet what the policy as
outlined as a requirement.

A good test is a phrase -

My sysadmin is mean!

If that doesn't work it can't be complexity that's the problem.

In troubleshooting this I have removed all complexity to the
password policy

That can take a whileto go away, IIRC

and still they can not change their passwords. They can change
them if I set the account to change password at next logon, but this
doesn't solve my problem. I have read that SP1 for XP fixes this
problem, but my users are running XP SP2.

Any ideas.

This isn't an XP issue at all, so it can't be a service pack issue
on the client. This is a server-side thing.
