The administrator himself can reset a password in mmc that is the same exact
password that the user tries to use to change their password via their
computer? I would make sure you try it yourself on at least two domain
computers to verify there is no operator error. Does the command net
accounts show the same maximum password length as the domain policy? Did
this just start happening and if so were any other configuration changes
applied to the domain such as security templates or security policy? I would
also check Event Viewer on the domain controllers looking for any events
that may indicate a problem and run the support tool netdiag on first the
pdc fsmo domain controller and then on a domain computer where this is
happening to see if any failed tests/errors/warnings are reported. Check the
security logs on the domain controllers for failed events for account
management [you may need to enable first] to see if they report any helpful
info. --- Steve
