    My boss wants me to lengthen the maximum age of passwords so users
    aren't required to suffer the annoyance of having to change too
    frequently.

    I know how to do this by editiing the group policy, but I would like to
    have certain users, who have elevated privileges, to be forced to
    change their passwords as frequently as at present.

    Is there any way to override the grouop policy for specific users or do
    I have to do it manually.
