Password Expiration Question? 1

[devastator]

If you set passwords to expire in say 90 days, does that include ALL accounts such as the Admin Account? Wouldn't that cause problems if certain services are set to that account if the password does change or needed to be changed?

Thanks,

I don't believe that includes the Administrator account. A+ MCP

Yes, It will include the Administrator account, if the "Password Never Expires" checkbox is not ticked. (I think this is ticked by default on the Admin account when NT is first installed)

Any accounts that have that box ticked will not expire.
