SYMPTOMS
After you use NWCONV.EXE to migrate NetWare users to a backup domain controller (BDC) with the "User must change password" option selected, when users log in to the BDC/FPNW computer and changes their password, the "NetWare compatible password expires" box in User Manager's NWCompat option is cleared on the primary domain controller (PDC) but not the BDC. When users log in again to Microsoft File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) on the BDC they are not ask to change their password again. Synchronizing the domain controller does not resolve the problem.

This problem does not affect the operation or functionality of FPNW.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, select User Manager on the BDC and clear the "NetWare compatible password expires" option in the User Manager NWCompat option.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51 and File Print Services for NetWare version 192. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
