Re: Implementing a Password Policy

We are about to implement a domain password policy on a network where
there was not one before. For password expiration, will every user's
password now expire on the same day?

That depends on the password age and what age you require them to change.

Set the password age to 30 days and users with passwords over 32 days will
be affected. Users with password age under 30 days will not be affected
until their password reaches 30 days old.

Also, can exceptions be made on individual user accounts by checking
"Password never expires" ?

Yes.
