PasswordExpiryWarning on Win2K server

[Graham Hart]

Hi,

Users would like me to reduce the password renewal reminders to less
than the 14 days default.

I have checked through and I can see that the relevant Registry change is:

Check this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

PasswordExpiryWarning (DWORD)

Change the number for this. Does it exist? If not, create
it

My question is:

Do I have to make that change on every individual PC, or, if I make it
on my Domain Controller (ActiveDirectory etc) will it take effect for
all domain users ?

Cheers

Graham

There is a security option in Domain Security Policy that allows you to
change the number of days. That would be the best place to do it. --- Steve
