Password Policy for Service Accounts

[Mr_Huang]

dear guru,
Want to implement the password policy by GPO for my domain, however,
we have created some service accounts for some applications.
Does the password policy also apply to those service accounts?
What is the best practice for the password policy to handle such
service accounts?
TIA,
Huang...

Hello Mr_Huang,

You can only have one password policy in the domain. With 2008 it will be
possible to have more then one. So choose a very long strong password for
service accounts and check password to not expire.

Best regards
