SYMPTOMS
After you apply the Windows 2000 Security Rollup Package 1 (SRP1) to an Active Directory domain controller, you may not be able to read from and write to the userPassword attribute, and you may receive a &quot;Server Unwilling to Perform&quot; error message.



CAUSE
This problem may be caused by a specification change that is included in Windows 2000 SRP1 that disallowed read and write access to the userPassword attribute in Active Directory.
