Hi out there
I have a simple question - how long is cached credentials pr. default valid
in a windows environment ?
The cause for the question is a small windows nt4 domain where the PDC
(single and only) has gone forever - no backup neither - and the dealer is
now pretty happy even though they no PDC - they can still logon to their
workstations and have all vitale services local - the password is set to
never expiere. If there is no need for them to add new users or change
passwords etc will the cached credentiels ever expiere ?

From what I am able to figure out cached credentials never expire. Seems
weird that they would be happy with things the way they are as it sure does
not give them much in the way of expandability. --- Steve
