Pass Change Issue

[Guest]

I have a user when she logs on gets a message stating that her password will
expire in x number of days would you like to change it. She slects yes and
changes her password as usual. However she gets an error Microsoft office
Outlook Your Windows Password could not be changed this account is currently
restricted. She attempts this several times and eventual gives up and hits
cancel and it takes her back to the main screen. She then logs on using the
new password. What is causing this?

Hi ,

I found following article:

822986 "Your Windows password could not be changed" error message in Outlook
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;822986

This article applies to Windows 2003 server

However, you post this issue in Windows 2000 queue. Please check the
Exchange server & DC, if they are running Windows Server 2003.

Also, I think following article can help:

Client unable to change Windows NT or Windows 2000 password
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=236111

If the problem still occurs, please let me know:

1. The client OS version
2. The DC&Exchange Version
3. I would suggest you enable logging in Outlook and wait for the issue to
occur again. The event log should capture any specific error codes that may
be returned when it happens.

Have a good day.

The cleint was windos 2000, the dc's are windows 2000, and the exchange 2003
server is running on Windows 2003

Hi,

Based on my experience, this issue can occur because :

Users logs onto the workstation with the user account that matches the
outlook account,Tthe client is not logged on to the domain that the
password is changed in. Therefore, the client outlook cannot establish a
remote procedure call (RPC) connection to the Local Security Authority
(LSA) to change the password. That is why the user can log on with the new
password later.

Now, I'd like to check, the client is working properly? Let me know if you
still have questions.

Everything appears to be correct on the worstation. We run a single domain.
This appears to happen when she's forced to change her password everyy month.

Try following two articles and let me know if the problem still occurs.

This isn't exactly the error mesage. The error message is a Microsoft Office
Outlook error stating that your windows password could not be changed. This
account is restricted. Do you think the 822986 KB article applied to this
even thought its not exactly the same messsage but similar.

Hi George,

I think it is a possible cause that you can have a try. Meanwhile, I have
performed deep research on this issue. I also suspect this issue can be
caused :

1 You are using Basic authentication to the proxy server for Exchange.
2 You are using NTLM authentication to the proxy server for Exchange, but
Windows does not automatically send the NTLM challenge/response data.
Windows does not do this because the older LANMAN challenge/response
password is included in the authentication data.

Please check following article:

You must provide Windows account credentials when you connect to Exchange
Server 2003 by using the Outlook 2003 RPC over HTTP feature
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;820281

Let me know if the problem still occurs.

Hi George,

I suggest you try to follow the KB article 822986 as well as 820281 and let
me know if the problem still occurs. I'll try my best to be of assistance.

Hi George,

I think I'd better to have a explain. I do understand the symptom described
in 822986 is not exactly the same as yours, however, I think it is still
to have a try. As well as 820281

You must provide Windows account credentials when you connect to Exchange
Server 2003 by using the Outlook 2003 RPC over HTTP feature
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;820281

Please rest assured that I'll try my best to be of assistance if the
problem persists.

Thanks.
