Since 2 weeks we are having issues whereby users cannot change their password upon expiry.

Error is: A device attached to the system is not functioning.

Error valid for Windows 10 and Windows 11.

    I really doubt it is connected with password change itself.

    • What kind of changes was done before this start to happen ?
    • How many PCs this affects ?
    • Is your Active Directory Env healthy ? (replication/DNS/DFRS etc)
    • Is there anything specific in the workstation logs ?

    Thanks,
