Tom The passwords will only expire if they are older than the maximum specified in the policy. The method(s) outlined below, if run before the change to the password policy, will ensure that the passwords will not expire. They will be set to current date (day0) and will therefore be good until the maximum password age specified in the policy is reached.

Since everyone's agreed that the passwords would expire by simply enabling the password policy, why are we having discussions about these not-so-obvious ways of accomplishing the same task? Or have we gone off the realm of Travis' original question and into the realm of the theoretical? > -----Original Message----- > From: Joe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2003 8:30 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Password Policy - Challenge.... > > Yep passwords would expire.
