In and NT 4 Domain how can you set the # of days for a reminder to pop up before the users password expires? I think by default it is 14 days. How can I change this #? I would like to change it to 7 days.

Thanks

For NT4 you can change this parameter but you have to go into the registry.

Make sure you back up the registry before making any changes.

Goto the HKEY_LOCAL_MACINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Add or Change the following entry
PasswordExpiryWarning: REG_DWORD:

Hope this helps
