SYMPTOMS

When a user of a disabled user account that is set to require a password change on the next logon tries to log on to the account, the user receives the following message, regardless of whether the password that is provided is correct:
You are required to change your password at first logon.
If the password that is provided is correct and the user changes the password, the user receives the following message:
Your account has been disabled. Please see your system administrator.
Note When a user tries to log on to a disabled account, the expected behavior is that the "account has been disabled" message is displayed immediately.

CAUSE
