Hi all,Hi all,
Well here is another question for everyone. I have a requirement to change the current password policy from the default of 6 characters and change every 30 days to 8 Characters and change every 90 days. I know I can do this via group policy but what I don’t want to do is to run this policy and have everyone have to change their password immediately. I would prefer that it change the next time they have to change their password so that the changes for the users are staggered.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

If you change the password expirey days to be longer then it'll not force an immediate change AFAIK so you should be OK to make both of those changes.
