Description Dmitry Melekhov 2007-05-28 00:25:44 UTC
If I set this windows domain members still can change passwords, I see this comparing smbpasswd with yesterday copy.
Comment 1 Guenther Deschner 2007-05-29 04:59:28 UTC
Just to get you correct: You want that domain members don't change their MACHINE account password (not the USER account passwords), as that is what the "refuse machine password change" policy is for. Correct?
Comment 2 Dmitry Melekhov 2007-05-29 05:03:42 UTC
Yes, this is correct.
I want PDC to reject password changes from machines.

Patch to obey Refus eMachine Change Password Policy

Can you test this patch and see if it fixes your problem?
Comment 4 Dmitry Melekhov 2007-06-13 23:49:17 UTC
unfortunately, machines still can change passwords :-(
Comment 5 Dmitry Melekhov 2007-06-21 22:43:14 UTC
more interesting is that I added debug output to this patched function and I see that it is never called for changing machine password...
Comment 6 Dmitry Melekhov 2007-08-29 22:26:23 UTC
Hello!

Looks like I found right place for patch

Please don't mark a bug as fixed until the change is made in 
the upstream code base.  Also, in the future please attach patches
and not include them inline.  Thanks.
Comment 8 Dmitry Melekhov 2007-09-10 06:27:38 UTC
Looks like NT_STATUS_ACCOUNT_RESTRICTION is wrong status code.
According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/154501 
"future attempts to change the password are prevented (by returning a distinct status code)."
but machines try to change password again and again...
Comment 9 Dmitry Melekhov 2007-09-21 01:39:57 UTC
NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD is the best I found.
It  doesn't work as should, but machines tries to change password only at boot, i.e. once per day,not every 20 minutes :-) 
Comment 10 Stefan Metzmacher 2010-02-21 06:49:49 UTC
Shouldn't we fix that in 3.6.x?
Comment 11 SATOH Fumiyasu 2019-07-10 06:00:12 UTC
I want this option for Samba AD DC, not NT DC.
