I have a Windows 2000 DC, and all clients run XP pro. Recently when I was forcing a password change across the board, some people who are the sole users of their machines were able to login and were not prompted to change password. Same people were able to login with user/password info that no longer existed on a redone server. Any idea why?

for some reason, they are authenticating to cached credentials and not to the dc. go to a command prompt and type set log to confirm this. that command will tell you what server authenticated the user for that login.
