Need to implement password expiration on stand alone Windows 7 Home premium PC

Hello All,

Have a client with a Win 7 Home Premium home computer they want to use to occasionally connect to various work resources. Usage Policy dictates any computer connecting to any resources requires a OS user password that expires at least every 90 days.

None of my research indicates that I can implement any kind of expiration/complexity password policy on a win 7 Home Premium PC.

Can anyone provide any direction on how I might be able to activate any kind of password policies on this standalone machine?

Thank you....T

open gpedit.msc (local group policy management console) through run or command prompt.

Computer configuration---> windows setting --> Security Setting ---> account policy ----> password policy.

Sushil84,

That would normally be a very good suggestion, but it won't work in this scenario. That's why Travisk232 specifically emphasized that he is working with a Windows 7 Home Premium machine: you can't utlize Group Policies on any Windows Home operating system.

Have the user vpn in to the workplace and expire that password every 90 days
