No password expiration message/Can't change password

Some Office Outlook 2003 users, both XP and W2000; "Password has expired ...
must change now" message without ever showing a "about to expire" message and
then user can't change the password. I know I saw a fix for this somewhere
on Microsoft but I can't find it now. Anyone know what it is?

 

Hi,

Welcome to our SBS newsgroup.

Issue description:

============

According to your description, I understand that you encountered some
problem in changing password on outlook 2003.

Analyzing and suggestions:

=============

Generally speaking, the clients who are running Outlook and are not part of
a Windows Domain will not receive the password expiration notification due
to not logging on to a domain. This is an expected behavior. we did have a
hotfix for this issue, but it only apply to outlook with RPC and HTTP, not
for local users; does your issue occur on remote user only? You can refer
to following KB article for detailed information:

Also as I know, this hotfix is also included in Windows 2003 SP1 which is
part of SBS 2003 SP1. You can apply the SBS 2003 SP1 to resolve this issue.

At your convenience, I would like to give you some link to help you install

Only one user was on OWA, the rest were all local. Most of the Outlook users
are OL 2003 SP1 including myself and I had the problem.

 

Hi,

Thanks for updates.

I suggest you follow my suggestions below:

1. Right click the user, choose properties.
2. In the account tab, please make sure that the "can not change password"
is not selected for all the users.


Check the domain default policy to make sure the prompt user to change
password is set correctly.
Domain policy:

Computer Configurations->Windows Settings->security setting->Local
policies-security options

If possible, please create a new user, does the issue still exist when the
password expired, you can set the password to expired immediately.

Could you check your event view to see if there are any error messages to
this issue, paste them to newsgroup?

Hi

1) User Accounts: "Can not Change Passwords" is UN-checked for all users.

2) Default Domain Policy: Local policies-security options: All that shows
(fully expanded) is Network Security
Policy: Network Security: Force logoff when logon hours expire.
Setting: Disabled.

Should there be something else?

I tried to simulate the event by making a dummy user and putting "must
change password at next logon" then accessing the account with Outlook:

At first I get a Must Change Password notice, Click Change Password, get
Change Successful. Close that window and back to logon using new password
gets
"Your logon information was incorrect. Check your uername and domain, then
type your password again. If your account is new or if your administrator
requested a password change you need to Click Change Password then logon with
your new password."

The only log event I see at this time are two Security Audits (see text
below) but nothine in either Appication Log or System:

Event ID: 535
User: NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM

Logon Failure:

I don't see a way to set the password expiration period for an single
account. I would like to be able to test a fix (if there is one) for the
missing password expiration problem.

Jim

 

Also;

Password support for Web Access works well, however:
1) The instructions failed to metion removing the Deny Access to IP
127.0.0.1 that crept into the IISAdmpwd Virtual Server Security.
2) I'm not sure how that is going to help if your password unexpectedly
expires.

The server is a Dell with SBS 2003 factory installed. Dell still warns
against installing SBS SP1 on their machines.

 

Hi Jim,

Sorry for making the issue not clear, I mean you can check the policy
interactive logon: "Prompt user change password before expired".

As you mean, it seems you did not installed the SBS SP1 because of the
Dell's against, from dell's websites we found they against install Windows
2003 SP1 individually however you can install the SBS 2003 SP1, it might
solve your issue. Also if you have Dell open management system installed on
your SBS 2003, please quickly contact with Dell for further updates, it
have a lot of known issue if you installed Windows 2003 SP1, (included in
SBS 2003 SP1).

Thanks for your understanding, if you did not want to install SBS 2003 SP1,
you need to follow my steps to apply the hotfix from CSS. You can refer to
my first reply, at your convenience, I would like to give you that article
again:

I appreciate your understanding and hope the above information helpful, if
you have any further concerns, please let me know. I will be here waiting

HI Jim,

Also you mean this issue only occurs on outlook 2003, if you did the same
things in OWA, the issue will not exist. Does it have any impact on Client
logon to workstations?

After you change password through windows logon pages, does the issue still
exist when you logon again to the workstations, or it only occur when you
logon outlook on workstation.

I appreciate your time in this issue. I will be here waiting for updates.

Ok, let me try to explain my situation again:

I work for a very small company of tweleve users on a simple LAN. We have a
SBS 2003 server for email. The user community is made up of a mixture of XP
and Win 2000 Pro machines. Most everyone works in the office using Outlook
2003 (local) and only use Web Access occasionally. In this community, no one
ever receives a "password will expire soon" message, regardless of XP, W2k,
Outlook 2003 or Web Access. When passwords do expire, and they seem to
expire earlier than the 40 days set in Password Policy, then some, but not
ALL, users can change their passwords.

The users that can not change their passwords have been on XP and W2K
machines using Outlook 2003. I have shown an example of the password change
problem in a previous posting. When passwords expire, the ability to change
passwords in Web Access is useless because the user can not logon to Web
Access in the first place. The ability to change passwords in Web Access is
useful only if you have warning that your password is going to expire soon.

My major consern is the password expiration warning message that does not
appear to anyone in the organization.

I hope this clearifys my problem.

 

Here's an example of exactly why I am terrified of applying SBS 2003 SP1.
This user appears to be in exactly the same situation as I am - using
Exchange Archivesink to collect copies of all email; In my case for
regulatory reasons. My server can not tolerate any down time or data loss
and Archivesink Must work.

POP 3 Connector error 1061 & 1062 in Windows Small Business Server 2003:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/co...&p=1&tid=1c39c55a-4182-4784-b2a0-6196bedfe897

 

HI Jim,

Thanks for your updates.

I understand your worry, let me clarify the issue more clearly, as I know
most of the POP3 connector issue is caused by SBS side, but cause by ISP
side. The link you refer to is related to SMTP virtual server, and it seems
the customer did not configure his email domain correctly.

Also from your description, it seems you never receive any password expired
messages on the domain. So I suggest you change the default domain policy
to see if the policy for showing password policy is configured or not.

Computer Configurations->Windows Settings->security setting->Local
policies-security options- "Prompt user change password before expired"

If you have already applied to default domain policy, please make sure you
did not apply any other policy relate to account policy, it might cause
some interruption, if you only configure your domain via default domain
policy, please also check the following setting and paste them to newsgroup.

Computer Configurations->Windows Settings->security setting->account
policy->password policy, paste all the setting relate to this policy. This
will help us isolate the issue more clear.

You can also refer to following KB article for more detailed information:

297121 Using the Change Password feature with Outlook Web Access
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=297121

Please note that you may have to use the workaround in this KB, if not work
I suggest you also contact with CSS for applying hotfix, this might be a
Exchange issue.

Hi,

Thanks for updates,

I am sorry for the delayed response due to weekend. Please understand that
the newsgroups are staffed weekdays by Microsoft Support professionals to
answer your systems and applications questions. Your understanding is
greatly appreciated!

After checking your reply, I found your setting in policy is correct,
however could you follow the steps below to check your policy setting:

After you expand to default domain policy on the left pane of advance
management in server management, right click the default domain policy
click edit.

Then Computer Configurations->Windows Settings->security setting->Local
policies-security options- "Prompt user change password before expired" you
will know the policy I mean, you can check the policy setting of this.
Please also paste this to our newsgroup. So that we can do a test to see
what is the results.

Thanks for your time and understanding. I will be here waiting for your
updates.

Hi;

Well, the line doesn't copy, but here's what it says:

Policy
Policy Setting
Interactive Logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration Not
Defined

 

Hi,

Thanks for updates.

It seems the expired messages are never defined on your group policy. So
you will never get the password expired message. You might have to
configure this setting in group policy if you use default domain policy to
configure your password policy. You can configure as xx days before
expired, then you will receive the password expired messages after 14 days.
If you use another group policy to configure your password policy, please
let me know.

Thanks for your understanding.

Ok,

I changed the default domain policy to: Interactive logon: Prompt user
before password expires to 14 days. The new policy now shows in Default
Domain Policy/Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local
Policies-Security Options/Interactive Logon.

However, How can I tell if the policy is in effect?
I used web logon (http://<server ip>/remote) for the dummy user and I got
"Password expired, must change password" and I could not change the password
there but only by going into Server Management and changing the password
there. In otherwords - no difference in the symptoms.

This installation is basically an "out-of-the-box", in fact, it was
installed by Dell so I don't know if there is another policy in effect. How
can I tell? For instance:
Default Domain Policy/Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Security
Settings/Account Policies-Password Policies says
Maximum password age 42
Minimum password age 1
But Standard Management/Users/Configure Password Policies says
Maximum password age 40
Does Standard Management/Users/Configure Password Policies update some other
policy list?

 

Hi, All the above was sent to you yesterday.

Thanks

 

Hi,

I did receive your messages, but I could not see your attachments, if
possible could you send me the attachments again.

Another password cycle has passed. I DID see a password expiration notice in
OWA but NOT when logging on to Outlook 2003 on the LAN. The interactive
logon policy IS set as you can see by the notice in OWA. Something still
seems to be missing.

 

HI.

Thanks for updates.

From your description, can I assume that you can change the password in OWA
without any problem? But you can not receive any notification when logon
outlook locally?

1. Could you receive any notification when logon Workstation.
2. I also do a test on my domain clients, I found if I choose change
password when logon to the workstation, the outlook will prompt to change
the password when I want to connect to SBS 2003 after the time for password
expired date coming. If I choose not change password when the changing
prompt appeared, I will not get any warning when I logon outlook.

Hope the above information helpful to your issue. As you can change the
password through OWA and also get the warning message through OWA, we can
make sure that the policy works well, the problem should be relate to
outlook.
