Win9X change password access denied with AD

[benito99]

I found a lot a question regarding a problem with active directory change password with windows 9X.

When you select the "User must change password at next logon".

WIndows 9X computer received a Access Denied message.

We had this problem because we had this option selected in our Default Domain Policy, Security Settings, Local Policies, Security Options

"Additionnal restriction for anonymous connection" was set to "No access without explicit anonymous permission"

We set it ti Not Define and to problem desapeared.

Excuse my english and i hope it will help you !

Hi,

Some rules,

- Intergrated Group Policy only works on Windows 2000/XP clients
- For changing passwords on w9x client, the client needs the PDC emulator. So check if your PDC emulator is available.

You're right !

But i tested it in a testing environnement, i can create the problem and solve it easily only by changing this policy.

Sometime, the theory does'nt reflect the reality.

Test it, you'll see !
