RE: /sigh/ Latops in a domain...

Hi Gabe,

Thanks for posting here.

>From your post, my understanding of this issue is: The laptop users cannot
access the file share via VPN due to their password expiration. If this is
not correct, please feel free to let me know.

This issue seems to be related to Active Directory, so I would suggest
posting in the newsgroup below:

microsoft.public.windows.server.active_directory

This is a more appropriate forum for your question where you will get the
most qualified pool of respondents and other partners in the newsgroups who
can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.
Thank you for your understanding.

However, I think there may be a simply way to resolve this issue:

You may add all laptop users to a Group in AD, and then apply a security
policy similar with "Password never expires" on this Group.

This is just an idea, for more detailed about this, please post in above
newsgroup. I believe you will get perfect solution there.

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,
Tom Che
