Hi,


One of our users has iMac, 10.6.8.

She has not got any local account.

She logs on to AD domain, with domain ID


When after 40 days or so she is asked the change the password; it does not work.

If we change it for here through AD or through another Windows PC, it works.


Could you please let me know the best course of action for this type of users who are not administrators of iMac?

I tested by changing my account's PAssword and it worked( I have administrative role).


Kind regards
