Hi folks, I knew this was recently discussed but I still couldn't get it to work. I still have the problem that the users on the W2K-Clients get the message about the password going to expire in 5 days when joining the Samba-PDC-Domain. Even if the users change the password, this message keeps coming... I have no idea what to do to avoid this message... Funny thing is, the password DOES NOT expire in 5 days.. only the popus in windows keeps on coming after logon. It always tells about 5 days... every day the same :) Did I miss a posting which told the solution ? Thanks in advynce Stephan
Stephan,
I have the same problem I don't know what to do to resolve it. I am still
in the process of migrating the users to the Samba server so I haven't yet
focused on resolving this minor inconvenience.

We have been trying to find a solution to this also. We are getting this message on our w2k samba domain machines after 14 days of being logged on. I haven't tested this long enough to be sure but this might get rid of the message: admin tools ->local security policy -> Local polices-> security options -> prompt user to change password before expiration - set it to zero. Also check the following: admin tools ->local security policy -> Account polices -> Password Policy -> Password Policy -> Maximum Passord Age - I have ours set to 0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
