cifs domain password schedule

AndreasSHD — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:00:15 GMT

We have the following problem, after activating the AD password scheduler there are problems with the syncronitation of the new passwords with the AD domain.
It affects all NetApp systems (SVM computer account, OnTap cDOT 9.7), normal Windows servers have no problems in the domain. There is no error message, after executing "vserver cifs domain password reset" the problem is fixed. An automatic change with the scheduler does not work, the NetApp reports a change, but the old password is still active in the AD. The use of "vserver cifs domain password change" leads to the same result as the scheduler.
Does anyone have an idea where to look for a cause?

THX

Looks like you hit the same thing we did.. Take a look at this.
