My IT Manager has requested I find a way to stop the annoying pop up message that warns you you have 15 days (etc.) before your password expires and counting down to 1 day and have it only warn you say 3 days before and counting down. I asked how to do it and was given a way by editing the registry which worked. My question now is …. how can I do this such that I can make the change system wide on all workstations at the same time? I have over 300 workstations here! Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks!
In case you’re wondering, here’s the registry fix for that: Use registry editor to add a registry entry that adjusts ths expiration day value. Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon subkey. Add the value PasswordExpiryWarning (of type REG_DWORD). The range for this value is in number of days, and the default value is 14.
