SYMPTOMS
A Windows NT 4.0 user may receive the following error message while trying to change their password when they attempt to log on:
CAUSE
If both of the following items are selected in User Manager for Domains, the above error message may be displayed.
For the User Account:
User Must Change Password at Next Logon
For Account Policies:
User must log on in order to change password
MORE INFORMATION
For consistency, this behavior has changed from version 3.51, and now is more similar to a Windows 95 log on attempt. However, unlike other Microsoft clients, a remote Windows NT computer, which has already logged on, has the ability to change the password using remote procedure calls.
