changing an expired password

[Guest Owen@7]

We are running a 2000 sp 4 domain.

Most machines have been promoted to 2003Server I still have 2 to promote

then I will promote the domain.

 

When users change their password (when it expires), users claim that they

change the password, hit enter, and when they try to log back on, the new

password does not work.

 

What does work, is nothing or a blank password.

Any suggestions?

Hello Owen7@discussions.microsoft.com,

 

See your other posting in microsoft.public.windows.server.active_directory

and avoid the multiposting. Use crossposting instead.

Hello Owen7@discussions.microsoft.com,

Follow these steps to access Internet Explorer newsgroups using Outlook®

Express.

 

1.

Print out this page for easy reference as you go through the steps.

Launch Outlook Express. You may be asked whether you want to make Outlook

Express your default e-mail program. If you don't have Outlook Express installed,

you can download Outlook Express from the Internet Explorer 6 Downloads page.

(You will need to download and install Internet Explorer 5.5 or Internet

On the Tools menu in Outlook Express, click Accounts.

field, and then click Next.

 

6.

Type msnews.microsoft.com in the News (NNTP) Server field.

 

7.

Click Next. Click Finish, and then click Close.

 

8.

When asked, "Would you like to download newsgroups from the news server

you added?" click Yes.

 

9.

In the Newsgroup Subscriptions dialog box, type inetexplorer to display

all Internet Explorer newsgroups. Click the newsgroups you're interested

in, then click Subscribe, and you're ready to go!

 

 

If you have a newsreader other than Outlook Express installed, please follow

the instructions for your product to access the newsgroups.

 

 

 

Best regards
