Disable it at both Domain Controller Security Policy and Domain Security Policy. If you have Windows 2003 support tools installed on the server, run the command GPUDATE at the command prompt to refresh the policy

give us a shout and let's if this works

cheers

I believe there are three places where you can change this depending on where/what it is being applied to:

Account Policies in the Domain Security Policy, Domain Controller Policy Settings and Local Security Policy.

Is this affecting local users or domain users?

I'm almost certain that the only policy that will affect domain accounts is the Default Domain Policy or a policy at domain root level.

maybe also the domain controllers policy, read it somewhere...
a bit vague, i know... sorry!

if its not broken, fix it anyway - with luck you might break it and have an excuse

disabled

pps will die with shock and horror at these settings however its the test server for me good luck

ok.. i finally figured this out.
After changing all the policies i had to reboot the server for the changes to stick. that was the only thing i never tried. Very Strange
