My support center folks are getting an error on occasion when trying to change a users password. It doesn't happen every time with every user and when it does happen it is limited to one person trying on a certain user account but others support center reps don't have the problem and the rep that does get the error doesn't get it on other user accounts. Any ideas? Active Directory Windows cannot complete the password change for XXXX because: The specified procedure could not be found.

We had this problem years ago. Here is what MS told us at the time and the command to "fix it" even though we didn't have any Netware in our environment. It only happened on a half dozen accounts and once those were reset, we never had the same problem again: "As far as UserParameters go, AD interprets these attributes as indicators that NetWare is included in the environment, and that the passwords must be synchronized. This exact error message occurs when you try to change the password on the nonexistent NetWare network (not on the AD-based domain) because the required NetWare components are not installed on the client. Try resetting the account without netware components in the userProperties property for this user: Net user SAMACCOUNTNAME /fpnw:no" Where SAMACCOUNTNAME is actually the user's account.
