Domain member: Maximum machine account Password age To clear things up, it is 7 days on Windows NT by default, and 30 days on Windows 2000 and up. The trust password follows the same setting. So Trust between two NT 4 domains is 7 days. Trusts between Windows 2000 and up and anything else is 30 days. So what this means is if:
Set minimum number of days available of password. Users must use their password at least this days after changing it. This setting impacts only when creating a user, not impacts to exisiting users. If set to exisiting users, run the command [chage -m (days) (user)].
