We are running Windows 2000 servers and XP on the
desktops. About 1 month ago, we applied a half dozen
security updates. Now, when users get notified that they
need to change their passwords they receive a
message "You do not have permission to change your
password." and and event ID 676 is logged on the PDC with
a failure code of 17. The local domain controller doesn't
seem to see the password change attempt at all.

If the user is being prompted to change their password
because it is getting near expiration, they can cancel
the password change, login with their own password, and
then change it using Ctrl-Alt-Delete... Change Password.

Has anybody seen this? Your help is very much appreciated.

Paul
