Password Reset Reminder

[Warwick]

I am experiencing the strangest thing on my domain (W2K
SP3 AD with XP SP1 clients). A number of users experience
the following:
- Get reminded that their password is expiring in 10 days,
and asked if they want to change it
- User changes password SUCCESSFULLY
- On login the next day, they are notified that their
password is expiring in 9 days, and are again asked if
they want to change it.
- No matter how often the user changes their password each
day they are reminded that their password will expire in n-
1 days.
- When the 'countdown' gets to zero days it disappears,
and users are able to login as normal.

Relevant GPO settings as follows:
Enforce password history - 18 passwords remembered
Maximum password age - 60 days
Minimum password age - 0 days
Minimum password length - 7 characters
Passwords must meet complexity requirements - Disabled
Store password using reversible encryption for all users
in the domain - Disabled
Account lockout duration - 9999 minutes
Account lockout threshold - 3 invalid logon attempts

Any help much appreciated.

Do you have more than one DC. It is possible that the DCs are not
replicating their information properly. This will lead to
similar issues like what you are seeing.

We are also experiencing this problem on our network - haven't figured
it out yet either. Did anyone ever find a solution for this problem???

Thanks in advance.
