Well, you only have it on her authority that she's actually had to change the password.
When was the last date she actually changed the password? Did she have problems changing it on any of the occasions where it was warranted? Are there other passwords in the environment that need to be changed regularly? Is she really being managed by the right group policy for password age? -ASB: http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker On Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 10:32 AM, John Hornbuckle < [email protected]> wrote: > Hm… That could explain a little.
