Password Policy Change - When Into Effect

client is running SBS 2003 SR2 SP2
This is a new environment and I want password policies in effect now but I
don't want it happening to every user on the same day. Since the SBS wizard
to manage policies will reset all passwords from immediately to 7 days I used
GPO to change the Server Domain password Policies.

Am I correct in understanding this will bypass the all-at-once change and
put the requirements in effect based on when the password was last changed -
in relation to maximum password age? When I go back and look at the wizard,
it now has the history length requirement displayed, and still sow 3 days to
go into effect.

Thanks

Hello Perry,

Thanks for your post.

In Windows Server 2003 group policy, we can set a maximum password age. A
common misconception is that the current age for each user's password is
reset when this value is changed. Actually, Windows operating system does
not actually store the age of the user's password, but rather the last time
it was set.

The process of checking whether a user password expires:

1. The user account password is not set to Password Never Expires. If it
is set as Never Expires, the 'Maximum Password age' setting will be ignored.
2. Get the 'Maximum Password age' value dictated by domain policy,
'pwdLastSet' value of the user account and current domain time.
3. If 'pwdLastSet' + 'Maximum Password age' > = current domain time, the
password expires. Before it expires, you will always be prompted to change
password.

Therefore, the SBS 2003 server will not reset the 'pwdLastSet' (last time
you changed your password), and all users should not be forced to renew
password on the same day.

Hope this helps. Also, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not
hesitate to let me know.

Thank you for your time and cooperation.

Hi,

I would like to change the complexity settings, because now the length is only 4 characters. But will people have to change immediatly their password? Or do they have to meet the complexity rules only when they change their password?
It is a windows 2003 domain.

Thanks in advance,
Mieke

Hi - the change will not affect users until it's time to change their
passwords. I suggest you *not* enable complex password enforcement, but
instead just force a long (e.g., 15-char) password length and show users how
to use passphrases. It's then more likely they will remember their
passwords, rather than writing them on sticky notes and calling you all the
time when they can't set them. A passphrase can use spaces (they don't count
as characters, but they help create long ones) - a good example to tell your
users might be something like this:

the mean sysadmin made me use a long password




OT, but please don't use the Egghead cafe forum, Techarena or Google Groups
to work with the MS public newsgroups. The interface doesn't quote properly,
and you're replying to a post which is no longer on the news server, so it's
unlikely that anyone will know what you're talking about.

Try using a news client, such as Forte Agent, Thunderbird, or even Outlook
Express, instead. It's a lot easier to do nearly everything that way. You
can mark messages to be watched, filter the views so you can see replies to
your posts easily, and search.

The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can
subscribe to as many groups as you like; no authentication is required.
