I have a theory.... I think the difference has to do with if the Identity 
exists or not... meaning it's defined in the registry.  If the Identity 
does NOT exist, which will be the case if the password is disabled the 
first time the NIM sees the principal, then I think you'll see the 
behavior I describe.

I'll send a Word doc with screen shots directly to your other email 
address... not sure how well your RT system handles attachments... I know 
OUR RT system doesn't handle them very well.
