An easy way to view the Password Last Set and Password Expires values is to install AcctInfo.dll. &nbsp;It can be downloaded as part of the 2003 Resource Kit.<br />
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd" rel="ugc">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd</a><br />
<br />
Install it by running <b>regsvr32 AcctInfo.dll</b>. &nbsp;Once installed it will add an<b> </b>Additional Account Info tab to each user's properties in Active Directory Users and Computers. &nbsp;The information it displays can be very helpful in troubleshooting these kinds of problems.<br />
<br />
To manually expire a user's password, use the vbscript from this article:<br />

Is this a separate policy or did you specify this in the default domain policy? As a best practice I would not alter the default domain policy, instead create a new policy called &quot;password expiration&quot; and apply it. You can do this by:<br />
<br />
Go into GP Management, Click on your domain and in the right panel ensure that the &quot;password expiration&quot; policy is listed before the default domain policy in it link order. So if the default domain policy is listed as link order number 1 and your &quot;password expiration&quot; policy is link order number 2 then make your &quot;password expiration&quot; policy link order number 1, do a gpupdate /force or gpupdate /target:computer on any client and then run the group policy results wizard and your policy should be the one in effect.

Gp results wizard?<br />
<br />
I tried this and under the &quot;Security Filtering Tasks&quot; do I put the user names or a computer name.<br />
I want to test with users group since our company has users group ?
</div>


<div>
In GP management go to:<br />
Group Policy Results<br />
Right click and select Group policy results wizard<br />
Click on Next and then select either &quot;this computer&quot; or &quot;another computer&quot;<br />
After the wizard has connected to the computer it will list the user pofiles that have logged on to the computer and you can run the results wizard against that computer and user account.
