User Cannot Change Password

[andyh]

Hi there I have changed my user account policy on my windows nt server so users now have to change passwords at next logon.. Users in manchester have no problem.. but users in london get the following message

the system cannot change your password now because the domain is not available...

any ideas what could be wrong? PDC is manchester and BDC is london.. Man and london connected via VPN over a leased line.

Thanx

Anything here?

Changing the password on a locked-out account generates a "domain not available" message
