This is normal password policy and may have come into force either following
an update or by someone changing
the policy on the server.

Sorry Jud, I have some additional information that was missing before.

If the user when asked to if they want to change their password before it
expires says yes and enters the old password then the new password twice and
says OK they recieve a warning saying they do not have permission to complete
ths changes.

This is our problem.

In that case this isn't normal , I did a quick search of MS and found this
page, It's for an NT server problem, does it apply?

What is the operating system of the computers where users are having this
problem? What error message do they get? The link below may be a
possibility. --- Steve
