[ActiveDir] Mac clients & passwords

[Creamer, Mark]

I have zero experience with Macs, but we now have a few in our design dept. Our domain is Windows 2000, and the Macs are using only TCP/IP to participate on the network, no Appletalk. The users say they don’t get notified when their AD password expires, and then when it does expire, they have to go find a Windows PC to change it. Is there software I can install on the AD and/or client side to alleviate this problem? Also, is it accurate that passwords are transmitted in clear text from a Mac client to a Windows resource?   Thanks!   Mark Creamer Systems Engineer Cintas Corporation Honesty and Integrity in Everything We Do
