Sadly that doesn't work. All that does is set the registry entry in
HKEY_Users\.DEFAULT and when a new user logs in that key is not copied
for some reason

Subject: Re: [Samba] Samba password sync question
I found it.
In gpedit.msc Navigate to :
User Configuration Administrative Templates System
Ctrl-Alt-Del Options
In the right pane select Remove Change Password and
then select enable.
Prevents users from changing their Windows password on
demand.
This setting disables the Change Password button on
the Windows Security dialog box (which appears when
you press Ctrl+Alt+Del).
However, users are still able to change their password
when prompted by the system. The system prompts users
for a new password when an administrator requires a
new password or their password is expiring.

Dear All
I would like to know if there is a simple way to
disable the Change
Password button available under XP. I have tried
all the registry
entries and they wont work. When a limited user
account is created the
relevant entry is not copied from
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT into
HKEY_CURRENT_USER. The system I am using is Samba
2.2.5 running as a
PDC with XP clients. I don't want to have to give
all my users admin
rights as that's a bit nasty.
The solution I have come up with at the moment is to
set passwd program
in smb.conf to a script which I have written that
just returns a non
zero exit status. This then tells the users that
the password change
failed due to an invalid username or password. If
it is not possible to
disable the change password button is it possible to
edit the error
message windows displays when the password change
fails?
Thanks
