Hi,
This is an unusual situation (though I'm sure there's a rational
explanation). Normally for security related events you'd be seeing Access
Denied type errors if passwords weren't synched. I'm wondering if your web
app is going some kind of redirect or similar when it encounters an
authentication error, and the page it's redirected to does not exist?
How are the users changing their passwords? Via the web app? or via some
other method (e.g. from withing Windows security dialogue itself)?
Can you check the IIS webserver logfiles, and check which the log entries
around the 404 request? Can you post a sample 404 request, and perhaps a
couple of requests before it, and a couple after (the ones that work when
you hit "refresh")?
Cheers
Ken
