MAC Keychain password issues

In our network we have some MAC machines that are joined to Active Directory.
When there is an Active directory password change for a user, then most of the time the login keychain password does not sync with AD password, and MAC users will notice those Popups to enter their password each time..

I wonder if there is a way in MAC to synchronize the login keychain password with AD password.

I am not familiar with MAC, so I have read about  different solutions, but have not seen one that talks about just synchronizing Login keychain with AD password.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thank you

<<Generally, if you change your account password from the Mac>>

when the password expires in AD, MAC users will call the administrator and will change it for them in AD, then MAC users will be able to login but they will keep getting Pop Ups to enter password for each application they launch. It means there is an out of sync somewhere .

<<<Then you need to send a password expiration reminder to your Mac Users so they don't get into that situation.  Once they do, your tech support should keep them on the phone and have them start their Keychain Access app to change their keychain password at that time, while they still remember their previous password>>>.


How do they change the keychain password after the administrator has changed the AD password for them and communicate it to them ?
