If you have a laptop and the password is cached and changed using OWA (not recommended, for the reasons above) on laptop log out of all accounts, connect the laptop to the domain using ethernet or wifi and log into the mac using the up to date password at the 'Other' login on the login screen.

This will then update the users keychain. If a mac is bound to AD using the directory utility found in /System/Library/coreservices then changing the password should ONLY be done by logging into the mac, (ignoring the login nag screen reminding you to change your password) and opening system preferences and then Users, clicking 'change password' to the right of the user account. When you log into the mac, the keychain is unlocked, because the passwords are the same. The keychain utility stores passwords, and is created when you create a user account, it uses the same password as the account. None of these answers except the very first are correct in addressing the proper method for mac users, because none take into consideration the mac 'keychain' utility. There's just nothing Macs do that PCs don't, and that's just because Apple bought the premier video editing app and stopped producing a PC version of it. The times I've contacted Apple support for anything beyond hardware problems they never know what to do aside from reinstall.Ī mixed environment just doesn't make sense unless you're doing some video editing. The other issue I've got is that there's so many fewer Macs out there that internet support is also very thin, and AppleCare's really only worth a crap if you have a hardware problem. That network client alone is my main reason for disliking them. It is a shame that Microsoft doesn't open their file sharing protocol to allow other vendors to more fully support clients to the Microsoft servers.

It does seem that when Mac users share files amongst themselves that they don't have the same file locking type issues that the PC users have. When you bring in active directory, or any sort of file sharing, there's problems. The Mac OS is great, but mostly by itself. I'm not a Mac guy, but we've got 10 Mac users in our 40 user network, so I'm forced to learn a bit of it.
