Password changes not propagating to NIS

[ridingthewind]

Info: Primary domain controller: pepdc15 - Windows Server 2008 SP2, IDMU, the
primary NIS master with just a few basic maps (passwd, shadow, group
and hosts) DC for domain DN.
Secondary domain controller: pepdc26 - Windows Server 2008 SP2, IDMU,
configured as a secondary nis server. Also DN domain.
Not using password sync.
Have unix box1 configured as slave nis server to pepdc15. Uses nis for
password and group (basically for authentication). ypwhich = pepdc26.
Have unix box2, a ypclient, configured to use nis for password and group,
ypwhich = pepdc15.
Windows pc's all on domain DN.

Problem:
Using an account on the domain, lets call it DN\testdc, I change
the password directly on pepdc15 using Active Directory Users and Computers,
Reset password... Then I login into unix box2 as testdc and it reflects
the changed password almost immediately.

Next I login to a windows pc as DN\testdc and change the account password
there. The domain controller takes the change okay since I can login to
another windows pc with the new password just fine. However when I try to
login to unix box2 or box1, both take the previous password not the new
one. I waited an hour and still no change. I did a force push on pepdc15
and tried to login to unix box1 again and still it does not have the new
password.

Doing a manual ypxfr on unix box1 says the maps are all up to date.

How come the password change is not getting to NIS?

thanks in advance

Ashsih - Again, thanks. The answer you gave to the question on "Default
Password" worked for me.

Did you ever get an answer to the question about password changes via a
Windows desktop system not getting propagated to the Unix side of the
database?

Hi Ed,

Indirectly from another posted question - you have to setup password sync,
windows to unix.

That was it! Thank you.
