[Fedora-directory-users] Active Directory Password Question

[Glenn]

Dusty - The password encryption format is different in FD and AD, so the 
passwords can't be ported directly from one to the other.  Windows Sync makes 
it possible to synchronize passwords automatically, but it doesn't work until 
the user changes his or her password.  After that, password changes on either 
system are replicated to the other.  One way to deal with this is to force 
each user to change his or her AD password shortly after you bring up the 
Windows Sync agreement.   -Glenn.
