Password policy

Right now I have the password policy set to expire passwords every xx amount of days. However for a half a dozen users I want to check the 'password does not expire' button in their user object properties. If I do this, doesn't the password policy take precedence and therefore ignore this so the users passwords will expire anyway?

How can I set it up so that these half dozen users dont experience password change requests?

no, you should be able to select "never expire" and it will take effect. if not, you would not be able to create new service accounts with static passwords and that would create a mess when these passwords expired. we are doing exactly what you are asking in our domain.
 
buddafish is right this will overide all other policy that's what it's there for.
