This message can be seen when your NT 4.0 domain had Netware hooks in it at
some point. When the NT account is migrated to the AD domain there is a
problem with the NetWare conversion. You can use the AD ADSI Edit and go to
the user account. A normal user account will have a value of 512 for the
userAccountControl property. If the account is disabled the value will be
512 + 2 for disabled =514. I also cleared out the userParameters which had
Netware entries also. After the change is made, synchronize the DC's and
you can change the password without getting this error.
The userAccountControl properties can be seen at
