Do i need to set this group policy on each workstation or on one of the two active directory servers? &nbsp;Until now we have not needed to use group policy for anything but the environment has changed. &nbsp;How do you do this in group policy?

I see under user settings on our server where I can have the user change their password the next time they log in, but is it possible to have this automatically happen every 6 months for all users and if so can they get a warning the day before?<br />
Thanks<br />
