The msDS_UserPasswordExpired attribute of a user object in an ADAM directory does not return TRUE even when the user tries to change the password on the next logon in Windows Server 2003

Consider the following scenario:

�	On a computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003, an application manages a user object in an Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) directory.
�	To require the user to change the password on the next logon, the pwdLastSet attribute is set to 0.
�	The application uses the msDS_UserPasswordExpired attribute to determine whether the password has expired.

However, the msDS_UserPasswordExpired attribute does not return TRUE. Therefore, the next time that the user logs on to the ADAM directory, the application does not prompt the user to change the password. In this situation, the logon fails.

This problem occurs because ADAM returns an incorrect value for the msDS_UserPasswordExpired attribute if the pwdLastSet attribute is set to 0.
