RE: [ActiveDir] Password Problem

[Mayet, Yusuf Y]

Title: Message

Thanks Darren for the response.   After doing some research I have some clarifications.   Does the password actually change on these users?   This is a strange situation, because when the password is changed on a DC, the time it is set is recorded and the expiry date is subsequently calculated from that value.     Synchronising Of Clocks The clocks are meant to synch properly on all of the  Domain Controllers ?  Checked and they are   Replication of Domain Controllers I have also looked at the replication and  checked that the replication topology is ok . No Problems   Possibilities   We do however have �5Domain Controllers that are .NET Server - RC1 but their NETLOGON Service is Disabled so as we speak they are not meant to service any requests. Am I correct in saying that ???   I honestly don't think that they should affect this issue.   Thanks again, Yusuf -----Original Message----- From: Darren Sykes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 October, 2002 10:18 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Password Problem Does the password actually change on these users? It's a strange situation, because when the password is changed on a DC, the time it was set is recorded and the expiry date is subsequently calculated from that value. Presumably, the clocks are synching properly on all of the machines? Also, have you checked that the replication topology is ok; one DC could be authenticating users/changing passwords then failing to connect to the other DC's to replicate the change? That would also explain why the policy is being applied successfully, as it could have an old copy of the GPO's.   Darren.     -----Original Message----- From: Mayet, Yusuf Y [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 October 2002 09:10 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] Password Problem   Subject: Password Problem Hi Guys,   There are a couple of incidents in the bank that  users  are trying to change their passwords and even once this is done the passwords still shows as about to expire the next day, A couple of points on this have been found   - The problem is very intermmitent and does not happen consitently or to all the user/desktops in the smae OU's - Investigation shows that some of the machines experiencing this are not getting the latest interactive logon message which would indicate that the default domain GPO is not being applied to these machines - A secedit /refresh and enforce shows as being succesful in the logs, and has proven itself to be succesful by removing the user from the local admin group even after I manually added the user into the local admins group manually.      Any other ideas from any one?    Thanks ______________________________________________ Disclaimer and confidentiality note Everything in this e-mail and any attachments relating to the official business of Standard Bank Group Limited is proprietary to the company.
