Oh, you will. The grumbling started a month or so ago when we implemented a 15-minute inactivity timeout that locks their computers. It will grow worse when we implement password expirations and greater complexity.
But when the state auditors tell us to jump, we ask how high.

We're looking at changing that. My question is this... If I decide to enable password expiration, how is the expiration date calculated for my users? Let's say that today I set passwords to expire every 60 days. Will all current users' passwords expire 60 days from today? Or will all current users' passwords expire today, if those passwords are 60 days or older?
