Users can not change their passwords from their desktops, when pressing
CTRL+ALT+SUPR and choosing "Change password " option.

I' ve checked my Def Pol and don`t find anything that restrict this option.
I'd appreciate some help about this.

Thanx in advance..
 
What is the error message?

Is there a minimum time they need to wait? Are they not meeting the
complexity requirements? Is the "user cannont change password" box on the
users account tab checked?

and those who don't.
 
Dear Manny:

I have no restrictions at all yet.

I forgot..
The error message says: "User can not change his password at this moment"

Thanx
 
1. Open the Start menu and select the Run... command
(Windows key + R is the keyboard shortcut)

2. Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.

That opens the Microsoft Management Console with the Group Policy
snap-in.

3. Click on the plus (+) symbol on the left of each of the following
headings to navigate through them till you reach the Password Policy:

NOTE: (You will see more headings, which I have left out
for ease of illustration.)

Local Computer Policy
+ -- Computer Configuration
+ -- Windows Settings
+ -- Security Settings
+ -- Account Policies
-- Password Policy
Minimum password age ?? days

There's how to get to the settings that Manny referred to, which your
error message seems to confirm is your problem.
