We authenticate to NetWare 4.11. About 200 users with 40% on the road. We just installed Citrix Metaframe for the travelers. It is randomly telling them that their NetWare passord has just expired. This occurs if they are in the LAN and change it then use Citrix in the next few days or if they have just changed the password thru the SetPass utility we have on Citrix for them. I check the NWADMIN and it has one date then a few moments later it has an older date. Why?

When is the last time you did a maintanenc on your nw? I would recommend do a dsrepair on all you nw servers.

What client is on the citrix server? Certain clients interacted better with citrix than others.

One bit of advice - if you set up password management on your LAN, try to keep it within one of the 2 systems. Either set it up in NDS or set it in NT. If you set password expiration dates in both systems, you may find one interfering with the other.

Also, when you do 'administrative' resets of passwords, the password expiration date is Jan 1, 1992 - this is done so that when the user logs in again, they area force to change the password to one they only know (and not your helpdesk).

Thismay be what you are experiencing.....

You may want to look into using LDAP to reset user's password via a webpage.

I have been laid off so I can't say if this is the absolute answer but it makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
