SYMPTOMS

When a new user logs on to a workstation for the first time in a Windows 2000-based domain, the following symptoms can occur if the Must change password on first logon setting is enabled for that user account:

Windows 2000 displays a dialog box for the user to change the password, even if the user typed an incorrect password to log on.
The error message box states "Your password has expired and must be changed" instead of "You are required to change your password at first logon."

CAUSE

This behavior is caused by a problem in Kerberos on the domain controller.
