I am running a server 2003 domain,
I do not want there to be expiration on the the users password, (as of right now there is, and they are getting that it expires in X days).

So I went into domain policy settings on the server, and went to: security settings\account settings\password policy.

I set it to "undefined" and restarted the serverI also set the , however, it still says that the password will expire. I tried to set it to "999" but it still causes the same problems. Password history to undefined, but it still says 24 passwords when you try to change it.

The users are on the domain, in there own OU


Thanks

How many users? Why not just set the option in each profile?

Why don't you want the passwords to expire?
