I use the local users group policy to force the users to change their password every 90 days. One thing I have noticed is that by using the line: &quot;net accounts /maxpwage:90&quot; &nbsp;net accounts (see attached picture) I don't:<br />

I use the local users group policy to force the users to change their password every 90 days. One thing I have noticed is that by using the line: "net accounts /maxpwage:90"  net accounts (see attached picture) I don't:

 - Lockout Threshold: to Never - which it should be 10 times
 - Mininum password length: to 0 - which should be minimum 8 characters long

This is only for local machine policy!

Can we add to this code line "net accounts /maxpwage:90" those additional options?


Please advice.
