I understand. I change local GPO on each station so it bypass the GPO 
which dont work like you said. Thats why it force users to change 
password after 30 days.

When changing password via Windows Logon it doesn't say it change it, it 
say that new password that I entered is not valid with password politic 
settings, and wasn't change.
But if you try to change the old password once more (even with the same 
password you enter right before) it say that the user name or password 
is invalid.
And you can not log anymore using old or new password.

Which log should I lookup when changing password? any specific command 
to use it in debug mode? Im using the ubuntu repo samba 4.1.6
