I have a NT Network streaching over 15 branches with a SMS and SQL server for Database operations and Network Operations. This has been in place for over 3 years with no password problems. Each user at the branched logs on to a mandatory profile. Just abought 3 months ago the users were not able to change their passwords. They are told that they are not permitted to do this. They always have been able in the past. The only changes made were a couple of different entries were entered into the LMHOST file to the bottom of the list.
