DisablePasswordChange

[Guest]

Does anyone know if the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\DisablePasswordChange
key is supported on XP Embedded? Joining an XPe Thin Client to a domain with
write filtering will cause issues when the computer account password wants to
change.

Thanks,

IIRC, it does.

Btw, pretty much all reg.keys of WIn2000 work on XP.

ALso, it may be a bit easier for you to play with that from command line. Use either:
- cusrmgr.exe (Console User Manager) to change account info (cusrmgr.exe -u UserName +s PasswordNeverExpires).
- or -
- net.exe (net.exe accounts /maxpwage:unlimited).
