[Samba] Samba password sync question

[Jethran Waugh]

Sadly that doesn't work. All that does is set the registry entry in
HKEY_Users\.DEFAULT and when a new user logs in that key is not copied
for some reason

I found it.

In gpedit.msc  Navigate to :
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System
> Ctrl-Alt-Del Options

In the right pane select Remove Change Password and
then select enable.

Prevents users from changing their Windows password on
demand.

This setting disables the "Change Password" button on
the Windows Security dialog box (which appears when
you press Ctrl+Alt+Del).

However, users are still able to change their password
when prompted by the system. The system prompts users
for a new password when an administrator requires a
new password or their password is expiring.
