SUMMARY
=======

When a Macintosh user logs on to a Windows NT Advanced Server running Services
for Macintosh, any error messages displayed will be different depending on which
user authentication module (UAM) is used. If the Apple UAM is used, then
regardless of what the error is, the following error message appears:

  Sorry, your password is incorrect. Please reenter it.

A more informative error message is displayed only when using the Microsoft UAM
(MSUAM). These errors and their messages are documented later in this document.

The only exception to the above is when the user's password has expired and must
be changed. In this case, the Apple UAM displays the following message:

  Your password must be changed. Please set a new password.

The MSUAM displays the following message:

  Your password has expired on this server. (Then the user will be presented
  with the Change Password dialog box.)

MORE INFORMATION
================

The following error messages are displayed only if the Macintosh user used the
MSUAM when trying to log on to a Windows NT Advanced Server Running SFM.

  You are not allowed to log on to this server at this time. Try again later.

expiration date of an account may be set in the User Manager: User Properties:
Account Information dialog box. Or the account's name or password has not been
entered correctly on either the Macintosh or the Windows NT Advanced Server.

  Your account is currently disabled on this server.

This error message indicates that the user's account has been set to Account
Disabled in the User Manager: User Properties dialog box.
