If you have Server 2008 or later you can use fine-grained password policies to apply different policies to different global security groups.<br />

I have tried the fine-grained password policies to apply different policies to different global security groups. <br />
Can't get it working, that's why I'm here asking if maybe there is something eles..
</div>


<div>
There is nothing else.<br />
<br />
If you follow the process there is no reason the fine-grained password policy will not work<br />
Make sure your domain is at the 2008 functional level (or later).

<div>
Would you know off hand if I can set and account so not to require a reset?

I set it all up and it seems to work, however when I tried setting it so that I don't have to reset the password ever, it dose not allow it do due to the pwd setting already in place.<br />
<br />
See below<br />

I setup a company so that users have to reset there password every 45 day's. I found out that you can't set it on an OU, it must be set on the default domain GP. All is working correctly except that I now also have to very 45 day's change the administrators pwd, which is not the problem. The problem is that there are some software like Backupexe 2012 that every time I change the pwd, I will have to go into the program and change it there also.<br />
I want to know if there is a way that I can set it up so that the admin account never has to reset the pwd.<br />
<br />
Thank you all
