change their password when they attempt to log on:
Change Password
You do not have permission to change your password.
CAUSE
=====
If both of the following items are selected in User Manager for Domains, the
above error message may be displayed.
For the User Account:

MORE INFORMATION
================
For consistency, this behavior has changed from version 3.51, and now is more
similar to a Windows 95 log on attempt. However, unlike other Microsoft clients,
a remote Windows NT computer, which has already logged on, has the ability to
change the password using remote procedure calls. For more information, please
see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
