Users are unable to change domain password
Hi, can anyone point me in the right direction. Our network is 2003 AD with
XP clients and about 120 vista enterprise machines. When you try to change your domain password on a vista box is tells you the username or password are incorrect, doing the same on XP machine is fine. We have another seperate 2003 AD network using the same Vista image, here we have no problem. Everyone group would appear to have change password permissions, like I say all on XP is fine but not Vista on this AD. We have update to SP1 on Vista, no change and Group Policy looks fine. Thanks Kevin |

For my money, downgrade vista to xp and avoid vista like it is the black
plague. No vista machine is going on my network if I can help it. "Kevin M" wrote in message ... Hi, can anyone point me in the right direction.

Carsten, we get "The username or password is incorrect". We can change the
password using XP machines or the change password feature on Outlook Web Access, basically anywhere apart from the Vista Machines. Can't see any errors, DNS and AD appear fine with any test and GPUpdate can be run without error.

Cartsen, did we get any futher with the previous post I added? Always shows
"Incorrect username or password", it's like some sort of translation problem. I know a German vista problem was fixed but its not exactly the same fault.

Hi Kevin,
I just had this same problem today on Vista 32 bit. Had to fire up a XP VPC to reset my password. Did you get any answers on this yet?

Jay, I have just resolved this issue but still don't know what caused the
fault. I have just added a 2008 DC in to my domain today, ran /forestprep /domainprep then just the usual DC promo. Went to a workstation that was already logged on and changed the password without issue. I'm wondering if it was something the new AD schema changes fixed or does the New DC have a permission set correctly the others do not? Maybe an AD corruption issue of some sort resolve by actions above. "Jay" wrote: Hi Kevin, I just had this same problem today on Vista 32 bit. Had to fire up a XP VPC to reset my password.

OK, this has now came back again to bite me. Nothing has changed in the
config since the new 2008 DC was installed. Something is being re-applied to stop this working. "Kevin M" wrote: Jay, I have just resolved this issue but still don't know what caused the fault.

Does anyone have a solution to this. We've been running around for the last 2-3 months. The users were all working 100%. Any ideas would be appreciated. Running Windows Vista SP1 AD = Windows Server 2003 Users migrated to new Domain and Vista. The user has to go to a non-migrated workstation to change the password. Our problem also only seems to be on Notebooks (various vendors). Thanx -- marriusvd |
