Password expiry reminder policy

[Guest]

Hi all
I have set up a GPO on a W2K DC.The GPO has a minimum password history of 24 days and a maximum history of 30 days. This allows only 6 days in which the user can change there password. The problem I have is that when the user logs on they get a reminder up to 14 days in advance that there passwords will expire and need changing. How can I change this reminder so it only appears when thet only have six days lef
Thanks

why make the minimum password history so long. I set it so the user can't
change the password to the same password they just had, but setting a long
minimum history isn't advantagous as far as I can tell. How does a user
change his/her password if he/she feels it is compromised. I always tell my
users to change it instantly if they feel that their password is
compromised.

That is kind of a stiff minimum history but to answer your question, you change that
setting in Domain Security Policy/security settings/local policies/security options -
prompt user to change password before expiring. --- Steve
