We have succesfully joined pcs to Windows 2003 server domain but pc domain users of Win7 pc can't change password because Windows says a massage such that "Unable toupdate the password.The valueprovided for the newpassworddoes not meet thelength, complexity,orhistoryof the domain.", in every pc.
I have:
- done a "gpresult /V" on the pc and here there are the password policies:
...
Criteri account
---------------
Oggetto Criteri di gruppo: Criteri password
Criterio: MaximumPasswordAge

...
- on the pc, executed "secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose", advised in a forum, and then "gpupdate": computer and user policies updated succesfully;
- checked that in the registry there isn't the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network" key: ok, there isn't;
- tried to enter in pc with a new domain user: windows let me change manually the password the first time (Ctrl-Alt-Canc - Change password), then, the second time, can't change password no more with the message above again ("Unable toupdate the password.The value...").
What can I do to find out what is wrong?
Thanks
