This hotfix corrects a problem occurring in NetWare 4.x and higher environments when the VigilEnt Security Agent for NetWare (VSA for NetWare) reset a password.  NetWare would then automatically reset the Password Expiration Date to 1992.  VSA for NetWare now correctly resets the date after NetWare changes it. 

This hotfix has the following requirements:

• VSA for NetWare 1.3 Service Pack 2 
• Administrator password for the local Windows 2000 computer

To download the hotfix, refer to the following link:
