Domain policy on maximum password age not getting applied

Guest

Hi,

I am remediating few Win2K servers for compliance and seeing this issue
wherein the "Maximum Password age" for accounts is is shown as 42 days
(effective) while on domain its 30 which should be on this server as
well.Local is set to 30 but that wont help since effective is 42.I tried
following things but still not resolved

- Rejoined server to domain
- Imported policies from a compliant server
- secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy /enforce & secedit /refreshpolicy
user_policy /enforce

Please suggest

Thanks, NK

Hello NK,

The password policy is set on domain level, if i understand you right?

Best regards

Sounds like that since if you put it on a OU it will affect the policy for
the local users on computers and not domain users...
