Unable to change expired password
- Curiosity: Are you talking about the BUILTIN\Administrator, i.e. the S-1-5-21-DOMAINSID-500, or another account you created after that?
- As I mentioned, this is just an evaluation and I only have that one account. I can't log on so I can't use the account to make any AD changes.
Since there's nothing to lose, I'm starting over with creating a new domain.
My main reason for posting is because this certainly looks like a bug in the newest Server Next version. Is there a better forum for posting bugs? I was thinking this forum covered it. Thanks.- Curiosity: Are you talking about the BUILTIN\Administrator, i.e. the S-1-5-21-DOMAINSID-500, or another account you created after that?
Joachim_Otahal That's very helpful, so thanks for asking the question.
It's been years since I set up an AD domain from scratch. Apparently when I created this domain for evaluation, I had to set a password for the built-in Administrator account. By default the built-in Administrator's password doesn't expire, so I was able to log on with that account. As it turns out that did give me second account to use after all.
This solves my issue of not being able to log on, but more importantly this has got to be a bug. I used the Administrator account to reset the other DA account's PW, leaving the setting "User must change PW at logon". Essentially the same thing happened: I enter the PW, I get the message that I need to change the PW, but after doing so it simply repeats that I need to change the PW.
Using the Administrator account to reset the PW, unchecking the option to force change at logon, of course gets around that issue.
