SYMPTOMS
When creating new users with the Netware compatible password option
enabled, the expired password option is not automatically set. This
occurs with both User Manager and the command line utility Net User Add.
CAUSE
The Netware password expired flag will be reset every time the password
notification DLL is called. The password notification DLL is de-coupled
with User Manager. The password notification DLL is not called initially
when a new user is created because the password does not exist yet. After
the account is created, select NW compatible properties, and then select
Netware compatible password expired. The value will then stay selected.
RESOLUTION
This is a design limitation of Microsoft Windows NT versions 3.51 and
4.0.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows NT
versions 3.51 and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
