I have created a new group policy that makes users change their passowrd every 90 days. I have created the policy on an OU that contains just internal staff in active directory. I have noticed that passowrds were changing earlier than 90 days. Is it possible that the default domain password policy is the one in effect and not the one I created on the Internal Users OU? I thought I heard that passwords can only be set at the domain level is that true? If not what could I be doing wrong that my users are being prompted to change their passwords before the 90 day period?

Thanks
