I've just posted an alarmingly similar incident, mine are all XP clients and
regardless of password policy settings the clients are unable to change
their own passwords.
If change the min password lenght to 3 chars the clients are told despite
using a 10 char complex password that it does not meet the requirements.
No matter what the policy says the users can't change the password.
The result is the Admin is having to do all the user password changes!.
Not good in a school of 1200.
Bizzare.
