You can configure "Domain" Security Policy to have a maximum password age of
90 days. Look under security settings/account policies/password policy. Keep
in mind that any user account configured with "password never expires" will
not be subject to password maximum age. Be sure to educate users of pending
changes because once you implement a maximim password age then "any" user
accounts with passwords older than that will have their passwords expire
right away which can cause problems loggin on and/or accessing domain
resources which could flood your support or help desk with calls. There is a
free tool from Somarsoft called dumpsec that can help you see the password
age of your users and do a whole lot more neat things. --- Steve
