I read here:
http://www.kbalertz.com/837327/receive.system.cannot.change.password.because.domain.error.message.change.password.Windows.Windows.aspx

that this bug is due to a bug in Windows. I upgraded to service pack 4, and the bug was fixed.

Hello. I am using Samba 3.0.22 with LDAP. When a user's password expires they are asked to change it by Windows 2000.

Upon completing the pw change dialog box, after a brief pause, I get an error stating "The system cannot change your password now because the domain MYGROUP is not available." -- where MYGROUP is my domain name.

Any thoughts on why this is occuring? I can provide additional logfile information if needed.

Thanks!

My smb.conf file:

add machine script = /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u"

unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/sbin/smbldap-passwd -u "%u"
passwd chat = "Changing password for*\nNew password*" %n\n "*Retype new password*" %n\n"
