Guest Jam Dude Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 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?
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Re: Domain Password Change Locks Account Hello Jam, The password change is requested during the logon, after username, password and domain filled in?

Guest Dragos CAMARA Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 RE: Domain Password Change Locks Account 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. -- Dragos CAMARA MCSA Windows 2003 server "Jam Dude" wrote: > 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.
