Hi, I have several users complaining that although they change their passwords they are still getting expiry messages & if not changed by a member of the helpdesk then the account expires. When they attempt to change the password I am being informed it acknoledges it & goes through but then fails when they try to logon. We have a several users across 4 sites using largely Windows 7 Enterprise & connecting via LAN, WLAN & VPN. I have asked users to try the various connections ensuring the others are disabled & this has not rectified the situation. In terms of DC's we utilise anything from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2 either on a virtual or physical machine. The PDC is held at our main site on a virtual system but each site hosts its own DC for authentication purposes. I have trawled the client & server event logs & to date found nothing that is pointing towards the issue. If anyone has any advice or guidance on what else I could do to move towards a resolution that would be great. Many thanks in anticipation, Clive.

Hi, Please run following command on each DC to check if AD replication is working fine. Repadmin /showrepl Also, please let me know if user can use his new password logon even if he get expiry message.

Apologies for the delay Jason things have been hectic on the helpdesk the past few weeks & as the only person in this area of the business time is tight at the best of times. I am now working on getting further info based on your response & hope to have this soon. Many thanks for your patience. Clive.
