NT 4.0 Policies - Password Expiration field

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.domain (More info?)

If you have some users that have the field
checked "Password doesn't expire". And some users that
their passwords do expire. Then you turn on the Password
Expires function in Policies Account and you have that
set for password expires every 30 days. That when it was
turned on the first of June those passwords would expire
July 1st. Then if the users that had the "Password
doesn't expire" removed on the 15th of June, would their
password be based on the July 1st expiration or would it
expire on the 14th of July?
In other words, where is the age of the password kept? At
the domain account level or the user level?

Thanks

If the account is set with password does not expire, the password will not
expire.
