Hello all,

I am developing an application that uses local users and groups to control
access. I don't want the passwords to expire, so I use "net accounts
/maxpwage:unlimited" to enable this. This seems OK, but when I examine the
properties for a user in the Local Users and Groups console (lusrmgr.msc),
the "Password never expires" box is not checked. Is this normal?

Thanks,
Mike
