Did you ask them how long it had been since they changed their pwd?

I would expect it is one of several things.

1. You didn't change it in the default domain policy.
2. It didn't properly replicate.
3. The users are logging into local accounts, not domain accounts.
4. The users are incorrect.

The first thing I would do is look at the user account in AD to verify the
password age. Then I would watch them do the logon. If you verify it, then I
would start chasing the other things.
