You MUST change your password…or NOT

by it cowgirl . Updated 19 years, 10 months ago

Our Security Team has implemented a minimum 15 character password for admin accounts. When trying to change my Admin password I received the following error: “WINDOWS PASSWORD: Your password has expired, you must change it. Your user account is configured in a way that doesn’t let you change your password.”

???
This is the first time I have seen this one. I suspect a GPO was set somewhere in AD that you could not change your password again after a certain amount of time…
Has anyone seen this before?

I must admit this is the funniest Windows error I have ever seen yet.

What is the most nonsensical error you have error received from a computer?
