Are these computers members of a domain or a workgroup? &nbsp;If they are members of a domain and they are logging on with domain accounts, the domain policy is different than what you have setup. &nbsp;Or, are they local accounts?<br />

Hi EXPERTS<br />
<br />
We have set local security setting for our network users. Our password policy is that, each user must change his or her password every 120 days and the password must have at least 6 carachters and so on. 14 days before a password expires, user get a message asking if he wants to change his password now. It happens that, &nbsp;eventhough a user change his password few days latter, the system will ask again same user to change his password. and this can go on for some days.<br />
<br />
Any idea how to stop this. <br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
<br />

Local security policy settings in Windows 2000 server

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
