Hi Jamie, Right after I posted this, I got an answer from one of the SysAdmins in our office. It turns out my searches telling me Time Sync was to blame proved to be correct. The issue was that the Windows Server was off by 4 minutes from time.windows.com. Since time.apple.com and time.windows.com actually pull from the same source, it should be the same. I had done some tests on my local machine to see about this error, but nothing I did seemed to change the time on my local machine. I asked one of our SysAdmin's here in the office to look into it with me, and they were able to resync the windows server using commands found here: ht*p://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/thread/96278628-03a1-4b3d-90d9-2208a65a1210/ You will need to have Command Prompt running in Administrator to pull this off. Once I resynced the time, it allowed users to change their passwords fine. This answer may not apply to everyone, but figured I'd try to offer what I can. Thanks!

Hey All, Like Jamie Klein, sorry to open up an old thread, but I'm in the same boat. I am running majority Mac environment, all with OSX 10.6 I get the same problem as sidewinder, and I am completely lost as to what to do. The only thing my searches have brought up regarding this issue is its some sort of Kerberos error involving time, but I've seen a lot of those errors before, and they usually throw an actual error. This just makes the box shake and refuses to accept the password change. The Macs will login fine as long as I do not say "Force User to Change Password". However, the moment I check that in AD, and I try to login on the mac, it takes me to the right screen to change the password, but it does let me actually change it, the screen just shakes. Bit desperate here so anything anyone may know about this would be a huge help and the person would have my eternal gratitude. Thanks!
