Your password will expire in N days..
I have an NT4.0 domain. I have a mixture of clients. (95/98/ntw/2k)
We've set a policy that makes our users change their passwords every 60 days. 14 days before the users are forced to change their passwords, when logging on, they are prompted with this:
"Your password will expire in 14 days. Do you want to change your password now?"
I'd prefer not to have this pop-up 14 days before the forced change, but can't figure out how to change the setting. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott.

You can specify a value in the registry.
Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, go to:
\Software\Microsoft\Window
Modify the following entry:
PasswordExpiryWarning: REG_DWORD:
You can set this to zero so that the user is notified on the day of expiry.
