I'm getting the same thing. I get prompted that my password will expire in x
days if I log into any type of Windows system other than XP Pro. We've got a
Win2K domain in mixed mode, and if I log into NT, TS or RDP I do get a
prompt. On XP, no prompt.
I tried the article posted below and after changing the setting it refers
to, the result remained the same except that it took a tiny bit longer to log
in. Still no prompt, though.
Anyone got any other possibilities?
