    Hello, we have an OS X server, whose role via Open Directory is “Connected to a Domain” in AD.
    If the users try to change their AD password from the option in “connect to server…” (command-K) in the Finder (through AFP) they get an error message.
    If the user is created directly on the OSX server (therefore is not an AD user) they can change their password.
    I have been searching many forums trying to understand the reason but with no luck.
    Server and client are OSX 10.4.11 whereas the AD environment is Win2003.
    Many thanks for your kind attention.
    Ciao

    have computers on 10.4.11 and bound to AD. Just enforced complex password policies in the organization. Prior testing allowed Active Directory users on OS X machines to change their passwords via System Preferences > Accouts > change password.
    Now I get the error message “you cannot change your password to the password you entered.” Does this work for anyone on 10.4.11 still? Only other option would be to install the microsoft UAM software to allow change password from the connect to server option.
