Domain Password Change Not Prompting

[rojariggs]

Hi

The network which I have inherited has never had enforced password changes - until now.

I set the first batch of users to expire yesterday. When they logged in this morning they were not prompted to change their password however as soon as they tried to load Outlook or access network resources they were prompted.

In each case, logging off and back on again then caused them to be prompted normally for the password change.

Network is 2003/2008 DCs with Vista/7 clients.

Why are they not being prompted at the login screen the first time round?

Thanks

Rog

Windows clients, such as XP, has a feature called "Fast User Logon". Unfortunately, this feature sometimes affects the processing of group policy, disabling accounts, password changes, etc...

You can disable this feature via group policy, but it may increase the login time experience for your users.

That's a good call!

I've switched it off in GPO and will see what happens with my next batch of users tomorrow (I'm bringing in the change a dozen users a week).

Cheers
