I'm finding that a large number of users on my Win2K server/workstation
network change their passwords and then can't log in the next day. There
are just too many of them for it to be that they can't remember their
passwords.
This only happens when they are prompted to change their password b/c their
current one is expiring.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
