Re: Account Policies - NT

It won't solve my problem.
I would need to define especific parameters to each local account policy.
For example:

Maximum password age 120 days
Minimum password length 8
Password Uniqueness 3
Account lockout 5
Account lockout duration Forever


But thanks for your attention.
