That's a crazy policy to test with...

I don't recall off the top of my head when the warnings start, but 13 days
is coming to mind... Don't take my word for it though, test it out, or you
can look it up.

As for removing the policy, you can do a couple of things - you can change
the settings in the policy to "Not Defined", you can disable the policy, or
you can delete the policy. The changes are not permanent, except for one
thing: if you have set the maximum password age to 3 days, and you disable
the policy, that setting will stay in effect, on the accounts that already
exist.

Subject: additional Windows 2000 password policy questions

Hi,

Thanks for all your replies. I really appreciate it.
I implement one password policy to test as follows:
                 max password age: 3 days
                 min password age: 2 days

What are the default days for reminding users to
change password? The screen pops users to change
password constantly even if the users changed their
passwords already. Also, the users can not open/logon
outlook due to the constantly expired password. Do
you know why?
 
If I want to take this policy out. What's effective
way to do?
Can I change max pass age : 0 day
             min pass age : 0 day
will this overwrite the previous one policy?

Thanks for all your help.

Hong
