If a Mac VPN's in and tries to change their password, they just get the "password was not changed" message ("your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password.").Īnyone know why, or have a solution for this? The Windows users can VPN in, hit Ctrl-Alt-Del, change their password and everything is updated and fine. The problem is the actual password change. I've found several ways for users to be notified of an expiring password (scripts+email, adpassmon, etc). The problem comes for the handful of office users who are permanently remote. They come in to the office, get the expiration notice, and change their password at login or via the usual change password options for Win7 or OS X. When the expiration date comes up, it's not a problem for most users. Every users domain login is used to log in to their laptops as well as a few corporate resources, including Cisco VPN connection when away from the office. Everybody in the company has a laptop that is joined to the domain, a mix of Win7 and Macbook Pro's (Mountain Lion or Lion).
We've got a a number of security policies that we enforce, including a 180 day password expiration policy. In our office, we are running some Windows servers running an Active Directory domain.
