SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:

You configure an Active Directory domain so that domain users must use a smart card to log on to the domain.
In this domain, some resources require NTLM authentication. Additionally, these resources do not accept Kerberos authentication.
On a Windows XP-based client computer, a user uses a smart card to log on to the computer. Then, the user locks the computer.
On the domain controller, you change the password for the smart card user account while the Windows XP-based client computer is locked.
The user uses the smart card to unlock the computer and to then work online.

In this scenario, the user is prompted for authentication when he or she accesses resources that require NTLM authentication. Additionally, the user is not prompted to synchronize the smart card user account credentials.
