When I try to change his password using Password Change Web Part, I alwayserror message “The password does not meet the password complexity policy requirements.”,even the new password meet the policy. How can I fix it?

Solution:

Firstly, please check the user account in application pool and ensure the account has the permission to change password in Active Directory. We recommend you to add this account to domain admin group. (Because Password Change web part uses this account to connect active directory and change password.)

Then, if the first way failed. Please check if these updates installed on your SharePoint server.

Or is there any error message like "…remote calls to the SAM database have been denied…" in the event viewer.

If so, please allow Domain Users to access the remote SAM database on SharePoint server as the picture below.

This is a known issue for Microsoft SharePoint.

Both old and new password is available after changing password

Admin — Mon, 31 Mar 2014 19:40:22 +0000

After changing the password via the Password Change, it still allows user to login SharePoint via both old and new password.

Solution:

There is a buffer after changing the password, usually Microsoft SharePoint will keep the old password for 1 hour by default, so during this period, both old and new password work. It happens for huge organization or internaltional companies sometimes.

How does password notification works

Admin — Mon, 31 Mar 2014 19:39:29 +0000

How does a password expiration timer job detects which
users to send password expiration email to?

Solution:

It doesn’t retrieve user information directly from LDAP, but get the current AD maxPasswordAge from AD root node through LDAP, then search the user by the user logon name among entire AD, then get user’s pwdLastSet. Finally calculate the user’s password remain period and expiration date according to the above two values.

(Expiration days = maxPasswordAge -(Today – pwdLastSet) )

Password Expiration functions in SharePoint Timer Job Service. Whether the user information from other domain can be retrieved or not depends on the relevant permission of the current account for SharePoint Timer Job Service. Under one-way trust environment, users(or services) that is not trusted by another domain cannot retrieve information from that specific AD information.
