Hello Matthias & Matthieu,

I have updated the bug report with the following comment:

Hello,

I have completed some further testing on this issue:

1) I have verified that Windows 2008R2 behaves the same as Windows 2000 (it
only accepts 0 and -1 when using an "LDAP editor"). A value of 0 is
accepted and saved and a value of -1 is saved as the current timestamp.
This appears to happen instantaneously as I save the value as -1, but my
LDAP editor reports back with the current timestamp after the save
operation is completed. It also behaves like W2K in that I cannot change
the value from a timestamp to -1 without first setting the value to 0.
Behavior also matches W2K when using ADUC, in that checking "user must
change..." sets this attribute to 0 and unchecking it sets it to the
current timestamp. When I do the same using ADUC and a Samba4 server,
checking the box sets the value to 0 and unchecking it sets the value to -1.

2) As a normal user, I cannot alter this value via an LDAP Editor in W2K,
W2K8R2 or Samba4.
