Whatevr is set on the domain policy. You can determine this. 6 days- never
require changingie password never expires. By default it is 45 days.

Emre,

I answered that in your previous post. For WINNT 4.0 it is seven days.
However, for WIN2000 & WINXP it is 30 days.

Kilo, I *think*that Emre is asking about the secret password ( secure
channel ) that each computer account has with the DC ( this is handled by
the NETLOGON service ).

In WIN2000 for user accounts I believe that the default password policy
calls a maximum password age of 42 days and remembers one password (
password History = 1 ).

HTH,

Cary
