I am in an oceanographic research environment. We have a
number of Windows NT 4.0 domains corresponding to our
shore environment and our various research ships. Our
ships can be away from shore for periods of months at a
time. (There is no BDC for the shore domain on any of the
ships due to replication issues.) During this period,
scientists from the shore use their notebook computers
with their cached login information from the shore domain.

Up to this time, we have not used password expiration but
we are now investigating it. My concern is that the
password expiration information might be included in the
cached information and that a scientist on an extended
cruise might, all of a sudden, find him or herself with an
expired password and no way of changing it.

Can you verify for me whether or not the password
expiration information is stored in the cached information.

Thank you,
