Problems in mixed enviro...

[Louis Herndon \(MCP\)]

Hello,

I am running a Win2k Server network in mixed mode (2000,
XP, Me, and 98 users). I am trying to force my users to
change their network passwords with "User must change
password at next logon". This is working for some, but
not for all. I'm not getting any errors in the event
log. Plus the distribution for this is sporadic. Some XP
machines prompt for change, some don't. Some 98 machines
prompt for change, others don't. Does anyone know what
would be causing this. I need for my users to change
their passwords now, all of them, not some. Please help.

Mixed mode refers to servers, not clients.


If you set "User must change password at next logon" then the only thing I can
think of is that some are not logging on to the domain.
