We are currently using Exchange 5.5 with Outlook 2000 and some of our guys use the owa interface. Just recenlty some of the users were getting the following warning message: "Your current password will expire in 0 days. To change your password, go to the Options page after you logon." Where is this message coming from? Exchange or Nt security.
Because the accounts have "User cannot change password" and "Password never expires" option checked in the accounts dialog box.
Need help with this one.

Thanks,
Jolley Watson

One quick fix goto the exchsrvr\webdata directory, edit the file constant.inc, change the variable fEnablePasswordMenu = true to = false. OWA will not test for password timeout.

Been there done that.
