changing passwords?

We currently have a couple of XP pro pcs on our network. We needed to
change there network passwords (Server 2003 AD). After changing them on the
server, they could not login into the domain. Do you have to change
anything on the client PC or does changing it on the server (active
directory user and computers) get the job done. We changed them back to the
original for now.

Thanks for your response...

Are the XP machines joined to the domain, and are the users logging into the
domain as opposed to the local workstation? If not, this won't work the way
you want it to.
If so...were the users currently logged in at the time, and can they change
the passwords themselves? (ctrl+alt+del & "Change Password")?

The machines are joined to the domain and the users are logging into the
domain (not locally). They were logged in at the time of the password
change. I haven't tried letting them change there passwords but I will and
let you know. Thanks.

Don't change passwords while the users are logged in...keep things simple.
