| Cloning PUP-6569; the fix covered the basics of disabled, expired and locked accounts. More work in this area is warranted as time permits, and is detailed below. While investigating PUP-6483, we found that we could be more specific with our error handling when performing some user password management tasks on Windows. Per Rob Reynolds in PUP-6483:
A few error codes we could explore handling some of the errors and providing better messages around how to correct. Possibly as a separate ticket though.
