Remove paxpwdage

ANyone know how to properly remove the Group Policy setting that sets
the maxpwdage for the domain? We have it set to 180 days, but need to
remove it for a period of time. When I remove the plicy setting and
give it a few days to repl, all users still show their password as
going to expire 180 from the last time it was set.
WHat am I missing?

Security policies, in general, don't undo themselves when you remove the
underlying GPO. You need to explicitly set the value to something else.

I found this Help article:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Maximum password ageComputer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security
Settings\Account Policies\Password Policy

Description
Determines the period of time (in days) that a password can be used
before the system requires the user to change it. You can set passwords
to expire after a number of days between 1 and 999, or you can specify
that passwords never expire by setting the number of days to 0.
