Windows

Before doing the drastic step of Re installing NT ,have you tried deleting the account off the PDC and then recreating it. There could be something funny going on there. This is MS so you never know :-P
Try that and what that does. Also check in the account policy and see if the number of days till password expires is not set too low. try change it to a higher number and see what that does.

Good Luck :-)

There was something the like this.

Here is what I would try since this is only on one machine.

1 - delete the user(s) profiles on the system after making sure everything is currently fine. Synchronize the domain and have them log in.

2 - if that fails, delete as above etc, thenrun regclean on the system and try again.

E-Z fix. Set the password to "never expire" and have the users change it using "ctrl+alt+del". You stated that ""When looking at 'User Manager for Domains' (not local User Manager) on his computer the attribute 'User must change password at next logon' is checked, and if you uncheck it, click OK then open the properties it's checked again....?? When you check U/M for Domains on the PDC that option isn't checked"" This doesn't make sense if you are looking @ the same domain. Also you can try to log in as "administrator" and uncheck the "user must change pwd" box and see if that works.

PROBLEM SOLVED......

The date of the machine had 'magically' jumped forward 4 years to 2005, therefore exceeding the password expiry policy of 45 days for everyone that logged into that particular machine.

Thanks all for your suggestions and comments, they were appreciated.
