I built two exchange organizations, first org having Exchange 2003 and 2000. The second one is Exchange 2007 on Windows 2003 SP2.
I deployed exchange 2007 org as Resource forest model and migrated few users mailboxes to 2007 and those are working properly as linked mailboxes by authenticating at Account forest.

Now, when is change password for linked mailbox through OWA, it is not accepting. Is there any feasibility to change password through OWA in resource forest model?

Plss. help to resolve this issue soon.
Thanks in advance

How to enable "change password feature" in Exchange 2007 OWA:-

Please find the session - "To enable the change password functionality for forms-based authentication......"
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/isa/2006/deployment/exchange.mspx

Moreover, please try to use Domain (User Domain rather Resource Domain)\Username login OWA to change the password.

By default, Windows 2003 Domain enabled complex password and minimum char..  You need to change this setting for using simple password or few char. password.

Password Policy Settings:-

Gone through the articles attached.  Verified and still nothing works. 

We're using Win32-bit OS for hosting Exchange 2007 CAS in a test environment.

Change password again errors out even for local users "The password supplied doesn't meet the minimum complexity requirement" .  Tried uninstalling and reinstalling CAS and IIS procedurally.  Didn't work.  This was working before though!!!!!.  Tried re-registering iispwchg.dll file.  Even tried adsutil.vbs and setting passwordflags to 0 and 1.  Nothing seems to be working.

Observation: When we run a get-owavirtualdirectory |fl through[ChangePasswordEnabled] value shows blank.  Tried setting it to True as well as false.  Nothing seems to appear corresponding to that value.  Is that the Default behaviour ?? Or that could make some difference???

Hi,
  I have the same problem too. I create new accounts using EMS and then login the OWA and change the password. I got the same error message "The password supplied doesn't meet the minimum complexity requirement" .  But I find out that one of the domain account policy the "Minmum password age" which is set to 1 by default force me cannot change the newly setup account password. Once set to 0 and reboot the domain controller, the change password feature now work!.

Hope this help to your problem.
Regards,

javedmse,

when you change the password complexity for a Active Directory domain via Group Policiies, the Domain Controllers ve to be rebooted to take this new feature on.

Ensure you change the policy on the right group policy such that it affects all Domain Controllers in your domain.

I had the same problem with my users, but I found a solution that helped me.

Register the following dll again: "regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\iisadmpwd\iispwchg.dll" and then reset the IIS with the command "iisreset /noforce".  The funny thing is that I had to do this two times before it worked.

All my users where then able to change their passwords.

Hi Javed/Viking:

In my case once iam on the password reset page, i eneter old password, new password and confirm the new password and click on the OK button. This time it again prompts me to connect to my domain using the old password. It pops up the windows authentication box.

Is this normal to ask the old password before resetting it?
