Jesper, this can actually create a lockout-problem, because the password
does not expire on a given day, but on a given second. If the user logs
in at i.e. 7:30 am, and the password expires at 8:20 am, he will lose
access to some programs which require windows authentification, like OE
with Exchange, ISA-proxyservers, SQL-Servers etc.

Since I worked 5 years in end-user support, I have seen a lot of users
effectively locked out by this, especially if they reacted wrong and
tried just to force their way into these applications by reentering
their password into the authentification-popup of IE.
