Changing Passwords with the File Based Write Filter
On Microsoft Windows based machines, account passwords
are regularly changed with the domain controller for security purposes.
The same password process is applicable for a thin clientOptiplex client if the thin clientOptiplex client is a member of such
a domain. With the File Based Write Filter enabled, a thin clientOptiplex client will successfully
make this password change with the domain controller. However, since
the File Based Write Filter is enabled, the next time the thin clientOptiplex client is booted it will
not retain the new password. In such cases, you can use the following
options:
Disable the machine account password change on the thin clientOptiplex client by setting the DisablePasswordChange registry entry to a value of 1.
Disable the machine account password change on the Windows based server by using the Microsoft documentation for the operating system.
For example, on Windows 2003 Server, set the RefusePasswordChange registry entry to a value of 1 on all domain controllers in the domain instead of on all workstations. Clients will still attempt to change their passwords every 30 days, but the change will be rejected by the server.
NOTE: If you set the RefusePasswordChange registry entry in the Windows 2003 Domain
Controller to a value of 1, the replication traffic will stop, but
not the thin clientOptiplex client traffic. If you
also set the DisablePasswordChange registry entry to a value of 1
in the thin clientOptiplex client, both thin clientOptiplex client and replication
traffic will stop.
