Dear All

I am administering a sub-domain in a tree and am trying to change some of the Account Policies within the Default Domain Policy (eg. Maximum Password Age). Unfortunately the changes I make aren't being applied. I believe this is because the higher level domain is over-riding my settings. Could this be the case? If so, how can I stop this from happening?

Any help much appreciated.
