password change policy

[Richard]

i would like to set a policy or script to require certian
users to change there password on the 2nd of every month.
is there a way? I am not opposed to buying a utility
either for this fix, it would just save a lot of time on
the night of the first. right now i require password
changes every 60 days, but the owner wants a few set to
the 2nd. thanks for any help.

AFAIK the only way to have different password requirements (in Win 2k) is to
have separate domains. Win 2k's password policy is 1 to a domain.

You may be able to do with with a script run on the first
of each month that bumps the password age counter on
the specific accounts so that a change gets forced on
the next day.

You could do this with a script scheduled via the AT command. The AT command would look something like

at 12:01 /every:2 "somescript.xxx"

Assuming the script is running on a DC it will have enough access to make the changes. The script will simply go through
and set the pwdlastset attribute to 0 for the ID's you want expired.
