Hi,

I've winnt 4.0 server with about 100 users connecting to it. How do I setup force change of password for 1 account only not all 100 users.

Thanks,

Kevin
 
Open up the 'User Manager' (under administrator tools), you can open up the user properties here and tick 'User must change password at next logon'.

Next time they logon to windows it will ask them to change their password.
 
Thank you for the tips. I did that and it work well, but I also would like for this user to changer password every 30 days but all the rest of the users.

Thanks,

Kevin
 
So you only want that user to change the password every 30 days? I don't think you can do that on NT4 servers, it might be possibly with some sort of local workstation policy but I have not come across it before I am afraid.
