#7586 - 2001-03-16 09:57 AM NT password change gives problems in Win98
Anonymous

Hello everybody

I wonder if anyone can help me. We would like to change passwords on our NT domain on a regular basis (of course), but when users change their password on the domain. They have to type in the old password to get into Windows98. I would like these 2 passwords to be the same, or the Win98 password to be disabled. Can this be done with Kix?

I know this may not be the right forum, but you guys/girls know so much... :-)

Greetings and thanks for many good questions/answers.

Anette

You can disable the win9x "Windows" password by making it blank.

Thanks for your reply Bryce - is there any way to do that in kix. Instead of me asking the users to do it manually ?

Hello Anette !!

You can disable users from changing passwords in their local stations and to force them use only the domain password and policy by adding this line intoyour logon script:

writevalue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network","DisablePwdCaching","1","REG_Dword")

try this in youe test envoirment and then pass it to production.

All the best.
