Password expiration notification

[Steve Danaher]

We have a win2k (sp2) server running Active Directory.
This server was originally built w/o AD on it. After
putting AD on, now the win2k clients (running sp2 - sp4)
that connect to it do not receive notification when their
password is about to expire. Their accounts just become
locked and they cannot connect. The few pc's we have
running win95 still receive notification.

Anything I should look for to get this resolved?

Thanks,

Steve

Password Expiration warning period is controlled by
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
PasswordExpiryWarning [REG_DWORD]

Registry key.By defualt it is set to 14 days.

already set up, and has had no effect.

Thanks,
