| | Re: Vista Home Premium password expiration Sorry, I gave you the link, but not the summary: (see link for instructions) Maximum password age Values for this policy setting range from 1 to 999 days. (You can also set the value to 0 to specify that passwords never expire.)

| | Re: Vista Home Premium password expiration That won't work in Home Premium. There are no Group Policy tools in that SKU. Use this method instead: 1. Click the Start button 2. Right click Command Prompt in Accessories 3. Select "Run as administrator" and elevate 4. Inside the elevated command prompt run this command: net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited Close the prompt. That should set the expiration to infinite. --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...otectyourwi-20 "Mark" wrote: Quote: > Sorry, I gave you the link, but not the summary: (see link for instructions) > > Maximum password age > Values for this policy setting range from 1 to 999 days. > (You can also set the value to 0 to specify that passwords never expire.) > > > "Bob" <no@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:Pu1Ei.57770$Lu.25449@xxxxxx Quote: > > Is there a way to set passwords to never expire in Vista Home Premium? > > Thanks. > > > > > > |
