Hi,
Last year we sucessfully bound several Mac Pros and iMac G5s to our Active Directory Domain. So the users log onto their Macs using their domain credentials.
They use the Accounts pref pane in System Preferences to change their AD password. So far this has worked for all these users until the other day when just one of these users is not able to change their AD password. When they attempt to change it they get an error saying something about not meeting password requirements etc etc. I asked the user to log onto another Mac bound to the AD and try changing their AD password from there but the same error occurs.
All other users that log onto their Macs with AD logins can change their AD passwords in the Accounts pref pane, no problem.
I guess the fact that this user cannot change their password from 2 different Macs would suggest that the problem is with the AD account. I should also mention that this user is still able to log onto their Mac using the AD login and they are trying to change it because they are getting a prompt that their password will expire in 2 days time. Their login is definately valid as they log onto their MAC and also onto the fileserver authenticated by the AD fine.
It's just password changing that is not working.
