Windows 2003 R2 - Domain Password Policies

I am currently running a Windows 2003R2 AD Domain and I want to require our employees to change their password every 90 days but there are a couple folks that I do not want to require this for.  If I set the GPO Default Domain Account Password Policies and then for the users that I do not want to enfore this password policy on just merely choose the option   "Password Never Expires"  and I will accomplish my goal?

Create a seperate OU for each of the two groups of users and apply a different policy to each OU, problem solved :D
Neilsr -

You are aware that that won't work - password policies are domain wide and cannot be segmented like that.

"If you run any version of Windows® domain today (Windows NT®, Windows 2000 Active Directory®, or Windows Server® 2003 Active Directory), you are limited to a single password policy per domain."
