Greetings,

Has anyone run into a problem with locally cache passwords not changing when the "domain base" password is change via VPN dailup? We are running W2K VPN. We have been dealing with this problem forever. The only work around we have is having the users log into the VPN and then hit CLT-ALT-DEL and change the password.
This process sync's up the
"locally cache password" with the
"domain password" Any help provided would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

WJALERS

You may want to turn off the local caching of passwords....

----
If users change the password without being inside your network (via VPN), then essentially the server will not recognize that password as being assigned to the user and will reject him or her from the LAN. Users must log into the VPN when changing the password, and they should get acknowledgement back from the server after changing their password. If the three way signal does not take place, then the passwords will not synchronize and they will need to speak with an Administrator (who may need to set their password back to the previous password in order to get them back into the network, where they maychange their password again once they are in).

Thank you for the feedback. I considered disabling locally cache password but thought it would introduce the problem of logging into the laptop when not connected to the network? Also we have over 200 remote users. It would be challengeing to disable this option.
