Subject: [ActiveDir] Minimum Password Age
Our password policy is set up as follows:
Minimum 8
characters
Remember 6 passwords
Maximium Password Age 90 days
Minimum
Password Age 15 days
Require Complex passwords
Windows 2003
3
Sites
GC at each site
So we just created approximatly 50 new users and
assigned them a
semi-generic passowrd that they need to change upon
login. The problem
is they cannot change their password upon login
because it hasn't been
15 days since the password was created (I
assume). Is this by design?
If so how do you get around it? How
am I suppose to create new users in
the future if this is the case (besides
creating them 15 days in
advance)
My first guess at a solution to this
problem is to change the minimum
password age to 0, allowing users to change
their password immediately.
I tried this and forced a refresh on the machine
policy with no luck.
Does anyone have any ideas of what to do?
I now
have 50 users that were suppose to be able to be working today not
able to
log in unless we change their password to NOT change upon login
(so they all
have the same easy to use password). Am I missing
something
simple? Any idea's are appreciated.
Thanks,
Travis
