Password Policy Windows 2003
Is there anyway to set up a different password policy for the domain admin users accounts. As far as I know there's only a unique password policy for the domain. Basically I need to force the domain admin accounts to renew /change the password more periodic than the rest of the other domain accounts.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.

You can create a group policy for that group then change the password policy for that new GPO you created.
Ryan, are you sure you can do this? As far as I am aware, you can only have a single GPO with account policies which has precedence, this is defined at the domain.

Windows 2008 will allow more granular account policies.

You are right. This is hole point for the question as I said in my question "As far as I know there's only a unique password policy for the domain".
Any ideas??

My bad I was reading about 2008 all day. Correct 2003 only supports policies at the domain level.
There are add ins though (3rd party) that will allow you to 'diversify'

You will need a third party password filter, the one that Ryan detailed is quite good.
