Password Never Expires, user still gets prompted to change passwor

Hi All,

We have a user whose password was supposed to expire after 90 days, but we
needed to postpone that for a few more weeks. We selected the option
"Password Never Expires" on the Account tab for the user's Active Directory
account. The problem is that after doing that, the person was still getting
the pop-up box upon login, or upon unlocking his workstation, telling him
that his password is about to expire. AND he even got the popup after the
password was supposed to originally expire, saying something like "your
password expires in 0 days". He has been able to login all of those times by
clicking on NO (ie. don't change my password now). I can't find anything on
the Internet explaining how to make this popup go away. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks!

 

Hello Jim,

I think the problem is that the flag for changing the password is set. And
now changing to password never expires will be ignored. WHy not just changing
the password and all are done.

Hi Meinolf,

For certain 'executive' reasons, we cannot change the password right now.
Rebooting the executives desktop fixed the issue, but he's looking for a
reason.

Thanks,

Bill.
