For some reason, recently our Vista clients are unable to change the passwords through the Vista logon process. When a user attempts this action, they are informed that they have provided an invalid username or password. This will happen whether the account is expired or not. The same action will occur with a new account login with the "Change password at logon" property set on the AD account. The same users can change their passwords via any other client OS (Win2K, WinXP, OWA). This was working at some point, but over time more and more Vista users are unable to change passwords from with the client. The presence of SP1 has no effect on the problem. We keep current on MS updates to servers and clients (with the exception of the handful of non-SP1 Vista machines). There are no errors in the Event logs on the server or the client. I've already searched the NET for information and have only come across others who are having the same issue but with no clear resolutions, only workarounds.
We are running MS Windows SBS 2003 with SP2. Clients on the network are a mix of WinXP and Vista.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this, or if they have seen this problem before?
Thanks...
