If the password resembles the account name no matter how complex it still fails the complexity rules.  Also if the change password time is set the user will get an error if it is under the time limit even if it is the administrator who changes the password.

Subject: [MSUNAG] Novell Client

I have a new user in another area who uses the Novell Client to access our network. She logs in "Workstation Only" then uses the client when necessary. The first time she tried to change her Windows Domain password (CTRL+ALT+DEL \ Change Password button) it gives her a "does not meet complexity policy"  error for the Windows domain. I know the pw is VERY complex. Anyone else seen this?

Thanks,
Scott
