Note: If the primary domain controller (PDC) is running Windows NT 4.0, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q127943 Mac Client Can't Log On Because Password Has Expired Q140641 Updated Samsrv.dll Supports AppleTalk and Banyan Vines Clients WORKAROUND ========== There are two ways you can work around this problem: Workaround 1 ------------ 1. Open the Chooser and click AppleShare. 2. Select the AppleTalk Zone where the Microsoft Exchange Server is located. 3. Select the appropriate file server name. 4. Click Set Password and follow the prompts. Workaround 2 ------------ 1. Make sure MacTCP 2.0.6 or higher, OpenTransport TCP/IP, is configured. This can be tested by using MacTCP ping, to make sure the Microsoft Exchange Server name can be resolved. Use Ping exchsrvr1. 2. Use TCP/IP in the profile instead of AppleTalk. To do this: a. Open the Microsoft Exchange Settings tool. b. Click Show Profiles, Add, and Next, and type a name. c. Make sure TCP/IP is selected. d. Enter the appropriate account and Microsoft Exchange Server name. e. Finish creating the profile and make it the profile to be used when starting the Microsoft Exchange client. f. Close the Microsoft Exchange Settings tool. 3. Start the Microsoft Exchange client. 4. To change the Windows NT password, on the Tools menu, click Options, and click Microsoft Exchange Server. NOTE: This workaround will only work if the PDC is Windows NT version 3.51 or higher. The Microsoft Exchange Server must also be at Service Pack 2 or later. Workaround 3 ------------ 1.
