Can't Change Passwords at WinXP Pro machines in a W2k AD Domain

Hi.

I'm the network administrator for a medium sized company and we have a
Win2k AD Domain. Our client computers runs Win2000 Pro and WinXP Pro.

I would like to know if anyone could help me out with this:
        . Users can't change their password on any of the XP machines;
        . Administrators can't change their password on any of the XP
machines!
        . I can only change passwords for WinXP local SAM users !!
        . The error message is something like this:  "You don't have
sufficient privilege to change your password at the moment".
        . The same users and administrators are able to change their
password on any Win2000 Pro machines.

Hope someone has lived trought this or can have a clue on what is going
on here.

Best Regards,
Patricia Viana.
