I just finished deploying 16 new HP t530 thin clients running the HP ThinPro operating system (Linux). The thin clients connect to a Windows terminal server via Remote Desktop Protocol.
When users are required to change their password on the Windows domain, HP ThinPro returns a very confusing error message if the user enters a password that doesn't meet the minimum password requirements. The error message reads as follows:
Password Change Failed
WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated
machine 192.168.16.5 rejected the password change: Error was : Password restriction.
You'd think HP could make this error message more user friendly. I received several support calls because users don't understand what the error message means, especially the part that says "The syslog option is deprecated."
Is this something HP could address in a future software update?
