Supposedly, there is a setting that will make Windows 2k renew its domain membership every 30 days or so. We would like to disable this as we beleive its the root cause of a set of Windows 2k boxes dropping off the domain

I haven't been able to locate anything in the knowledgebase about this so I thought I'd ask here.
 
If, for some reason, the computer account's password and the LSA secret are
not synchronized frequently, the domain should be fixed. The default W2k and
XP computer account password change period is every 30 days.
