SYMPTOMS
When a domain administrator uses Active Directory Users and Computers to reset the password for a user in a Microsoft Windows 2000 Server domain and selects the User must change password at next logon check box, the user can log on by using the new password. However, the user is not prompted to change the password.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the user does not have the required minimum permission to set the User must change password at next logon setting. The required minimum permission is the Write Account Restrictions permission on user objects. When you delegate the ability to reset passwords, the only permission that is granted over the delegated container is the Reset Password permission on user objects.
