Domain Password Change Locks Account

[Guest Jam Dude]

Hi All!

 

I've got this recurring problem.

 

1) A user changes their password on their XP pc connected to a W2003

domain, usually prompted by a Group Policy.

2) The user gets locked out of domain resources, loses all mapped

drives, account locked out etc.

 

The user has a "Stored username & password" on their pc. It did not

automatically synchronize with the new password. Locking and unlocking

the computer does not synchronize password at this point.

 

To recover I:

 

1) Delete stored credentials

2) Unlock domain account on server

3) Reboot pc

4) User can finally log in

 

....but this is a big pain and causes the user downtime and a support

incident. The problem is intermittent yet ongoing enough to be a head

ache.

 

Anyone else see this issue or have a solution? Or know why the

password does not synch automatically?

Hello Jam,

 

The password change is requested during the logon, after username, password

and domain filled in?

 

Best regards

hi,

stored credentials are saved accross the sessions when you access a network

resource with another user and password and you chech the remember

password,in that case the stored credentials arent syncronized. If is the

same user that is logedin on workstation the credentials are syncronized when

it make a logoff/logon not lock/lockout the system.
