This sounds like there are urgent-replication issues. Hook up netmon or wireshark and see what it has to say.

After this happens, can the user use the new password to login to another computer? Is it just the computer they changed it on that's not authenticating?

Win 8.1 clients on 2008R2 domain. Passwords expire every xx days, and users typically wait until it expires and forces them to change at their next logon. They get the "Your password has expired and needs to be changed" message. The user enters a new password, clicks ok, and gets the spinning "welcome" message, it never takes them to the desktop. The user shuts down the machine holding the power button, disconnects the LAN cable, turns on the PC, and is able to use their new password with no LAN cable to log on locally. They then shutdown PC again, re-connect their LAN cable, turn on PC, and can log on to the domain. We are trying to figure out how/why this is happening. Any ideas? Thx!
