I have done this procedure and thanks, but an hour after the GPUPDATE was run users cannot change their password back to their old ones, even though i disbaled/uncheck all such policies<br />
<br />
They have logged out and on again<br />
<br />
does the server need to be rebooted for this to apply is it a time/propogation issue<br />
<br />

Hi all, <br />
<br />
I tried this solution on a SBS 2008 but in my case the Password Polices where greyed out and I was unable to change any option for some reason. (And yes, I have admin rights) <br />
I solved this by using active directory to change the user option 'Password Never Expires'<br />
<br />

We run sbs 2008. I dont remember setting any password policies when I did the initial setup but now everyone is being told their &quot;password will expire &nbsp;in 7 days.&quot;<br />
Exactly where is this policy changed? I'd like to set the password expiration policy to &quot;password never expires&quot;.<br />
Any ideas?
