Re: Password Policy and Service Accounts

Will password policies effect these
accounts?

Yes.

Also is there a way to exclude certain accounts' from domain
password policies?


Set the account's password to never expire. It's a good idea to periodically
change manually.

I would like to start using Domain wide password policies and have a
question
regarding service accounts. We have a many accounts for various software
packages that need the "Run as Service" elevated privalage on our servers.
Every so often we may need to logon to the server or workstation as one of
these accounts for troubleshooting. Will password policies effect these
accounts? Also is there a way to exclude certain acccounts from domain
password policies?

Thanks.
