Request for help: Thorny incorrect password error (server 2019 domain)

User password expired; remote user could not change password. I reset the password various times but user still cannot login.

  • Lockout status tool verifies that the account is not locked out
  • Tool verifies that there are no unexpected login attempts
  • Verified all DCs are replicating password changes instantly
  • Verified login attempts are hitting a DC
  • Cannot login account to any PC in domain - same error
  • Checking the password I am using visibly w/ show password in case of keyboard issue etc
  • Tried logins with full UPN
  • I did rejoin the domain w/ primary PC

Any ideas here? This is absolutely killing me - not sure what could be causing this.

    Might check the system and replication event logs for clues, also check domain health via dcdiag, repamin tools. If further assistance is needed then please run;

    Dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:%computername% >C:\dcdiag.log (run on PDC emulator)
    repadmin /showrepl >C:\repl.txt (run on any domain controller)
    ipconfig /all > C:\dc1.txt (run on domain controller 1)
    ipconfig /all > C:\dc2.txt (run on domain controller 2 if exists)
    ipconfig /all > C:\dc3.txt (run on domain controller 3 if exists)
    set > C:\problemworkstationvars.txt

    then put unzipped text files up on OneDrive and share a link.

    Sorry, there's nothing here in forums for that purpose. Shouldn't be anything in the files to worry about really but you can also start a case here with product support.
