I’m a tech at a K-12 school district (just throwing that out there as background). We just (within the hour) had a bunch of people call in saying that they couldn’t log into their domain computers, and that it was saying that their passwords were expired. When I checked their accounts using “net user blah blah” they all had expiration dates that were 42 days after password set. That was strange, since we have it set that all users passwords expire after 1 year. What made it more strange was that I checked my own account and mine was set to 42 days!
Does anyone out there know of anything that could change all domain users password expiration dates? Event Viewer isn’t showing anything helpful, so I thought I would post something quick and see if anyone has had similar things happen or if something could do that without admin rights.
