Symptoms
Assume that a domain controller is upgraded from an earlier version of Windows Server to Windows Server 2012. After an administrator resets a user's password in the domain, the user cannot access Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI) protected data. For example, the user cannot access the certificate private key.
Note This issue may occur when users change their password by themselves.Cause
This issue occurs because of an incompatibility in the authentication mechanism that is used by domain controllers. If DPAPI keys are backed up on domain controllers that are running on pre-Windows Server 2003-based servers, and the same keys are retrieved from domain controllers after an upgrade to Windows Server 2012, key retrieval fails after an administrator changes a user's password.
