User recieves "You do not have permission to change your password" when warned that password will expire in X days.
When the user logs on they get a warning that their password will expire in X days, would you like to change it now. When they try they get a "You do not have permission" error. If they log in to the machine, they can change theor password through the old Ctrl-alt-del menu.

I checked all of these settings based on these and other articles I have found. There has to be something else.

how about the length of password ? do you change the default setting? > 6 characters long, uppercase, lowercase, number, nonalphanumeric...

I had to open a ticket with Microsoft on this one. We are running in mixed mode. There was one registry key that was changed that had to be reset.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\
After changing its value from 2 to 0, the original issue is solved.
