Hi, I have a mix up network with several clients ( 95,
98, NT, XP 2000), all of them are connected to a Windows
2000 server, the problem that I'm having right now is
when the users are promted to change their password the
PC doesn't change the password, you have to go all the
way to the server to change the password and give it to
the users, as you can see it's very anoying but necesary,
what is going on here could anyone help please, I would
really apreciate it, thanks.

Assuming you are in a domain there are two items that commonly cause the problem with
clients other than W2K.

The first is make sure that in the Local Security Policy of your domain controller
that the security option for "additional restrictions for anonymous connections" is
NOT set to no access without explicit anonymous permissions.

The other problem is if the everyone group does not have change password permissions
for the domain container object.

Of course network misconfiguration can also cause problems as in the W2K/XP Pro
computers are not configured to use the domain controller as their only preferred dns
server in tcp/ip properties and that the domain controller is not also a wins client
to allow the downlevel clients to find it through their win server. --- Steve
